Our very big beautiful family, we'll stand together always. Uncle Garth was so good to me during some not so good times when I first showed up at mom and dad's at the beach, he gave me a heart box of chocolates on at least 3 years of Valentine's days. Never left without a hug either!!!I'm always thinking about you all.. love to all
