Our prayers are with all of you at this time. It's been a hard year on a lot of us. We loved camping next to uncle Jr. and Aunt Barbara at the Grace reunion. We did this for years when we had a camper and our girls were small. Aunt barbara would always have hot dogs to cook out side. He will be missed.
