Dear Sandy and family, we have been so blessed with our friendship during the time we spent in Portage Lakes, so many nights of wonderful stories. Laughing, gardening, tying up our boats when the wind was so strong. Wonderful meals on the grill…and just great friendship between us all, memories to cherish. We will miss all of Georges great advice…Much love to you, Paul, Kelly and your precious grandson. With Love, Mark and Rhonda Day
