To all my family,
I was saddened to hear about Cousin Harry's passing and a lot of wonderful memories flooded my thoughts. I was immediately taken back to the days that we were all together. One silly time in particular, we were at Uncle Mark & Aunt Syl's house and all us Cousins piled into the "powder room" to play a joke on the folks. They wondered where we went because it was all quiet. We then filed out one-by-one (laughing) and they had no idea how we all fit in there at one time. So many other childhood times together that I cherish nowadays. His visit to see me in California is such a treasured memory. I will truly miss him.
Love to all, Cousin Joanne.
