Uncle Gail, just wanted to say thank you for what you helped me go though with dad. You did mean a lot to Gary and I. You will be so missed. They say time heals the heart, but I feel that the hole that you, dad and mom have left in mine, is there to fill with a life time full of memories. I can not believe you all have left us. My heart is breaking.
