Audrey,Diane & rest of family,
I remember Garnett always stirring a pot of some Jamaican dish that he was cooking up at 657 25th. They were always delicious even though I balked at what was in them!
I marvelled at the way your large family always helped each other out, under the guidance of Garnett & Audrey.

I hope fond memories of Garnett will help you through this difficult time.
