Dear Fran and family,
Please accept my most heartfelt sympathy. I dearly loved "uncle Gene". He was Ginger's uncle, but I pretended he was my uncle too. She set me straight many times, but because our families did so much together growing up I called him uncle whether she liked it or not. I thought he was so handsome and so much fun. Please know that all of you are in my thoughts and prayers. Becky
