My prayers for my Uncle Gary and his family. I am grateful that I got to visit with Gary last year when my Dad passed. I got to see my uncles and aunts and family that brought back many fond memories. The bowling leagues, fishing with Dad and uncle Gary and my cousin Mark.On one fishing trip Mark and I caught all the fish. I am grateful you were in my life. Love JoJO
