Happy Holidays...

Wishing you all a happy holiday season ---- our Christmas Cards will be in route shortly -- sorry for the delay! Santa made his stop at our house... and this morning was filled with excitement! I'll post pic's as soon as I can. Hoping you've been enjoying your celebrations - and that new year finds you and your families healthy, and happy.

My dear Grandma Mary passed away early this morning -- 1 am Christmas Day --- she'd been officially on hospice care for the past 6 months ---- and thankfully she passed within a few days of her body really beginning to fail her. Many of you knew her --- others may not have...she became mentally ill very early in my dad's life -- only a few years after the birth of her second son. Between the schizophrenia she suffered from, and the drug induced parkinson's disease ---- her life was anything other than what it should have, and could have been. So --- I think we're all trying to take comfort in the idea of her finally being free from the mind and body she was trapped in for the majority of her life. We will be traveling to Rochester over the next day or two - to be with my father, sister and brother --- and of course to honor my Grandmother --- who this morning was reunited with my Grandpa Gene, and Uncle David ---- and of course all other family and friends who have gone before. If you have a second, please send a little prayer to her - to my father...to wish her in death and this new life --- what she missed in this one.

Thank you --- with much love...

Genine, Billy Quinn and Keira
