Was sad to hear about your passing, Link. You were my mother’s last grandchild and she loved you dearly. She carried a picture of you and bragged about her blond, curly haired grandson. I know that there must be a great family reunion going on with your Dad, mother, brother, sister and of course ” Gran-Nanny “. All of them and you will be missed.
Rest in Peace Nephew
