My Cousin, Gary Noe
 Family is the neatest thing on earth! Sometimes friends will lose touch, but family is family, no matter what.My cousin, Gary, is all the way out in San Diego, and I'm here in Cincinnati. But it doesn't change the closeness. He's a GREAT letter-writer and caller, and very faithful in sending pictures.
Gary has one son, Ethan, and is a devoted and loving Daddy. I guess we should never say that we have a favorite family member, because we could easily hurt someone else. But I guess it's no secret who my favorite is! So when you see this page, Gary, just remember how much your cousin loves you, and always will. You're family AND my friend. And there's nothing I wouldn't do for you!

Gary, my Uncle Johnny's oldest child, was the only one of all the
grandchildren to serve in Viet Nam, and thank God, he came home to
us. How sad our lives would be without him!
