My cousin Bobby & I had some incidents growing up in the family but that was a part of growing up either @ Grandpa & Grandpa Ghesquiere's house in Farmington or with other cousins @ get togethers or just @ The Taylor's family home's?
I miss all the family times because we all had fun whenever we got together!
My sincere condolences to Bill Taylor,Jan ,Rob & Brian.
