Hi Colleen
Has anyone heard from DD? I hope she’s ok
Today I got all Gary’s clothes out if the bureau. I already got rid of socks snd undies. I put aside a couple of things for the grands that were special. His Christmas sweater, for one. When JJ gets home, he’ll help me with the closet. Bobby is taking everything to Salvation Army for me. I lik…[Read more]

Hi Colleen
I ordered 3 3 foot lit trees battery operated from Amazon. They are on timers. I’m putting 2 on the dining room table and one in the kitchen or living room. That should at least add some lights to the house
Not only do I miss Gary, but Frankie was my assistant decorator. He got the stuff down from the attic, fired them up, and p…[Read more]

Hey Colleen
I can understand her wanting to wait. But, thst was a very long time
I bound not bury Gary’s ashes. I thought his ashes would comfort me here in the house. They do not.
I know how your SIL feels. Empty That’s how I feel. It will pass. I hope. I still can’t believe he is gone.
I hope your day is going well
Adele

Dearest Colleen
I am so sorry about your brother. I didn’t remember hearing about his passing. Please forgive me. I would never have ignored his passing. How are you doing with him being gone? It’s awful to loose a sibling. We expect to bury our parents. We don’t expect to bury people our ages. So sorry
Luv u
Adele

Hey Gailster
I am making nothing for Thanksgiving. Lol. The Minnions have gathered and are doing everything Bobby is buying pies, and nobody is complaining. He is also getting mini pastries.
They voted on chicken cause they are all not fans of turkey. Gary would have insisted on some kind of turkey!
Amanda and Bobby are making: chicken, mashed…[Read more]

Hey Gailster

Hey Gailster
Frankie us young. Our biggest competitor has been chasing him for a while. Way before Gary died. I talked to him about what I expect he will offer Frankie, cause he’s like a son to me. He offered him a good package, eith room to grow. They are much bigger than we are
I’m working on Steph. I want everyone here for the holidays. Lif…[Read more]

Tomorrow everyone goes back to school and work Life goes on.

Hey girls
It’s the quiet. It’s nit talking to him all day long.
Everyone wondered why it didn’t bother me to be home all the time. It’s because he was here. I was rarely alone. I always had my best friend to talk to. To watch our special shows with. To eat with. We didn’t have to go out to dinner. We had take out from our favorite places an…[Read more]

Hello everyone
Gary didn’t make it. He’s gone. He’s with Heather, my mother and all his relatives and friends.
Not much more I can say accept my life will be dramatically different and very quiet. And sad. I have a whole new definition for sad today
Adele

Yes. Still sedated.
The balloon was put in before the surgery, to save the heart until they operated. Joe was having multiple heart attacks all day long. I counted 8 until the surgery 😱😱🙏🏻🙏🏻
