Thanks for the help mate! I'm not very good with death. My cousin just died and when I got the news I said "oof" out of reflex... So yeah this helps.

In the fashion of my fast climbing up the corporate latter klan of a family... You say something like this to someone dealing with the death of their kid coming back from war in a casket... "I would like to offer you my condolences but at this point and time in your life, All that Matters is we have CAREERS at AFLAC!"
