Dearest Liz and Family, I am so sorry you no longer have Gary to hug in person but just in your hearts. I’m sure Ellie will grow up with lots of loving stories about her Grand Father. Liz, I wish I could hug you in person. My sisters and I said a Divine Mercy Rosary for Gary when he was in hospice, which I think he would have appreciated. Though it’s no comfort now, I wish you peace of mind and heart as time passes.
