Jane,Micheal and Jenn, Donna and I are so sorry for your loss. I’m sure it’s a very difficult time, but be assured he’s in a better place. It is said that God only gives you what you can handle’ and I’m sure you might be questioning this. I don’t know what took Gauld’s life, but stay strong and continue on living…. as he would want you to. Donna and I will pray for your loss. I’m certain Danny U. and Gauld are having a cold beer! God Bless.
