We will miss uncle Gerry a lot . Looking back, we are really glad that he decided to phone us rather than sending a Christmas card. We are in Apache Junction at this time, which means that we will not be able to attend the funeral. Our sympathy goes out to his family. We hope all goes well on Saturday. We will be thinking of you. - Posted by: Ron and Mary Daeninck (Nephew and wife) on: Feb 04, 2020
