To the Bouchard Family. We are all sorry to hear of your loss. Your Mom is now with your Dad and happy. Lac du Flambeau in Heven is now complete. Our Moms are in the yards putzing and talking through the bushes and our Dads are still on the porch having a martini looking at Big Crawling Stone. Matt, Jackie, James Gaulke and the rest of the Gaulke Family.
