Aunt Ginny, Steve & Kathy – sorry to hear that we have lost a wonderful man. I will remember the fun times we had during our family picnics. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of sorrow. Love ya all.
Aunt Ginny, Steve, Kathy and families; I was saddened to hear of your loss, Please know you are all in our prayers and that god does ease the pain we feel when someone leaves our world and joins him. I do wish we could have had more opportunities to share time together over the years. The family reunions were always fun and although maybe selfishly, I always enjoyed the times I was able to spend with the Kadars & the Cushmans when I was spending some of the best times of my early life with Grandma (Eleanore). He will be missed, Love & God Bless,
