Reading your tribute brought back wonderful memories for me of those crazy McGrother parties, the huge, juicy tomatoes from his garden, his sweet, caring nature and of course his sense of humor. He and Aunt Janie were very special to me and I feel blessed to be related to them and all of my Gephart cousins. Love and peace to all of you. <BR/>Cousin Joanne and familyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8455470936377851195.post-80329325478283104362008-02-07T22:46:00.000-05:002008-02-07T22:46:00.000-05:00Danny, Donna, and family,I'm sorry for your loss, ...Danny, Donna, and family,<BR/><BR/>I'm sorry for your loss, your dad was a wonderful man. He made anyone who met him a better person, myself included. He was easy to like, he had a great charisma. He always had a smile for you and something nice to say. I only wish I could have said good-bye in person, but he will be in my prayers as will all of you.<BR/><BR/>As I raise my glass (of Jamison of course) to a great man who had a wonderful family and lived a good life, thank you for sharing your life with all of us, Slainte!<BR/><BR/>Johnny MackAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8455470936377851195.post-49745349286633581032008-02-05T18:26:00.000-05:002008-02-05T18:26:00.000-05:00We can't thank everyone enough for their warm wish...We can't thank everyone enough for their warm wishes and kindness during this difficult time.<BR/><BR/>The Gephart FamilyWild About Wordshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07325527050158095051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8455470936377851195.post-5670487617663910632008-02-05T11:27:00.000-05:002008-02-05T11:27:00.000-05:00Donna,What are you doing to me, I'm about to cry a...Donna,<BR/><BR/>What are you doing to me, I'm about to cry again! <BR/><BR/>Seriously, thank you for the wonderful tribute to such a special guy.
