I'm so lucky that I spent so much time with FG, Elise and family in the summers as I grew up. I will always remember FG's twinkle in the eye and wonderful smile. FG taught me to eat chicken gristle and like it!! He could eat crabs faster than anyone I ever knew. He would always give me the "popsycle"
My thoughts and love is there for your family. Love you all. Your cousin from Colorado, Katherine

May the hand of Christ be on the family as I know this is a difficult time, "Boogie" was a loving father and you his children, was so important to him. I can only relate to "Boogie" as "He lived today as there was no tomorrow, as it might be". I am so grateful that our lives touch and will cherish the memories.
May God Bless each of you.
