Uncle Gerry, Randy, Heidi; I'm at total loss again, and share with empathy, Aunt Bobbie stood next to me holding my arm at her brothers grave and cried with me. Saying "until I see you.......butch" . As if it were yesterday, I still hear her. Now they are together, brother and sister once again looking over our shoulders and guiding us, as I believe.
"Song, Sung, Blue..........." Thank you randy
