First of all, Annie, may God be with you & all of your family. Never got to know ANY of my relatives the way I wanted to. So much to share. Jimmy --hell all of the Prys & Ondrizeks & Bridges were handsome men--was so handsome & moviestar-like. He reminded me so much of my Dad, Charles. And I'll never forget what Dad wrote when he stayed with you. Love to all from all of my family until you hear from them. There is only Wayne, me, and Peggy out of everyone on our side now. as always, gary james bridge.
