Recollections & Sympathy For the Family
Post Comment
It's ok if the comment I submitted the other day is not posted. Dad, his big brother Max and David his firstborn son passed away nearly 20 years ago. Things've changed too much since then. Perhaps it would be best not to post anything at all, please. Only Dad was from there. We just wanted to honor them and will find another way to do so Instead. Sorry it was way too long. The death notice had minor misinformation and left out so many years and actual family history, details and facts. We just wanted to fill in the gaps. But, that would take volumes and their memories/memorials would be more like memoirs. They were just fun. Sorry for the inconvenience. Thank You all Kindly in advance & Please, stay very safe in all ways always. Bless all the Berkshires, LOVED it there all those fun summers with Dad, sweet rolls, endless arts, artisans, culture, and so many cute, friendly little chipmunks! What wasn't to Love? Sincerely yours, JLG.
