Aunt Gloria, Stephen, Sylvia, Larry, Diane and Alan,
I am so sorry to hear of Uncle Paul's passing. He was a sweet man and I have many fond memories visiting the farm as a child. Him trying to get me to touch a cow and my refusal is a good one. Although I can't be there I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless.
