Barbara- I just heard of Gary’s passing and we are in total shock. I had no idea he was sick. Kathy mentioned that he had cancer over a year ago but that he was in remission. I am so very sorry Babs - we were talking about you guys last week. We went to the restaurant I took you to and said Gary tried the fish tacos when he was there. I’m glad you stayed up North - close to your family. Love and hugs MiMi and Cliff
