Mona. Ever since you reached out to us to begin the Extrom & Cox family tree, I have felt very close to the extended family. I didn't know Gary except through the family updates, but I know that he is with all the other family angels. I am sorry for your loss and I will be praying for you and the rest of the family. Bless you all, Susan Fichter Simmons.
