Gary, Bruce and families............. I am so sorry to hear of your loss....and such a loss it is. The news has brought back to me so many loving memories. Gee, I remember the SEVERAL Saturdays and Sundays when my family would visit your childhood home in Beaver Dam. Both your Mom and Dad would be so nice and generous to us with good food and candy. Your house always had more candy than ours did. Even today when I see those hard shelled candy easter eggs with white filling I think of your Dad. He would encourage us to eat one of every color....and your mom made the best ever Jiffy white cupcakes cuz she always put those round colored sprinkles on them. I am so lucky to have had such loving, kind hearted people as aunt and uncle. I hope that you find comfort in the fact that you have taken such good care of your Dad. I hope my prayers bring you peace in your sorrow.
