Our thoughts are with you during this difficult time
I will always hold a special place in my heart ❤ for “My” Uncle Donald. I have the sweetest picture of me and him. I was probably about 9 months old so you’re talking a few years back 😆 like going on 67 years. He was holding me and we were both looking at each other with smiles on our faces. My favorite picture is one that Granny gave me. He was a boy wearing a flat top that needed cutting down a bit. It almost looks like a Mohawk 😆. So thankful too of the times we talked to each other on the phone before his passing too. Great conversations and he always called me Gal! I love you beyond words… beyond measure. Your niece, Janet aka Gal
