Grace, I am deeply saddened by Gilbert's passing. When I heard of it, a rash of memories came back to me. We were a great group of friends from Crow Village. The Cloughey home was our meeting place. What a group we were. Maybe God will get us together again in the Crow Village section of heaven. With deepest sympathy to you and your family.
