JANIE AND BECKY,
I WAS TRULY SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT
UNCLE GLEN. HE'S ONE OF THE BEST. WHETHER DOWN IN THE BASEMENT MAKING WINE, DOING WOODWORKING OR OUT IN THE GARDEN.
GRABBING THE NIECES AND NEPHEWS BY THE WRIST AND NOT LETTING GO TIL YOU SAID "UNCLE".
I HAVE SO MANY WONDERFUL MEMORIES OF BEING AT FRISKY AND UNCLE GLEN'S. YOU'RE IN MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS.
LOVE,
KAREN MC.
