Don, Gail & Family, I was sorry to read that your loved one had passed. Know he is now with Dorothy again. I am sorry I did not get to attend the wake/funeral due to a flu virus. Gail and Don, I would like to get in touch with you but, I do not have your current address. Please contact me at my e-mail address at your convenience.
Oh, I told Chuck & Rita to show Kenny around. Again, so sorry for your loss.
