Garry & Pete, I have great memories visiting with Aunt Irene, Uncle Arnold, you, your wife and son at your parents house on many occasions. Your parents were always so great and your mom such an artist! Our parents always seemed to get along so well and we missed them when they moved to Florida. It has been great getting back together this past year and look forward to continuing our communication. If you are ever up this way you have a place to stay God Bless you on this day and know that we are with you in spirit by your side. We will say a prayer for Uncle Arnold. Love to you and Pete Joe & Janet Shandrowski
