All of you are in my prayers. I will miss Uncle Gary dearly, but I am so thankful for our time together last month. That trip meant the world to me and Grandma Doris. She sends her love as do I. God Bless all of my wonderful family in Milwaukee.

The last time I saw Gary was while he was in a nursing home recovering. Lisa S. & I brought our dogs. He took his mask off quick to flash a smile over those two little dogs. He was a sweet man. I know everyone will miss him. He was a tough dude.
