I am forever grateful to you for those pics. It meant the world to my husband and I. I cried like a baby when I saw them. He told my mom he was going to Boston for Thanksgiving, I was assuming it was with you guys. Thank you for that. It makes it a little easier knowing he will be with you guys and not alone. Make him help you!!! Lol!
I am not a member of the fb page if you are able to add me. My fb is under
Gina Di Lisio Torsky. Thanks again! I feel like I can't say thank you enough!
I sent a few and I posted a great one on fb if you are a member of that fb group, I will check later. It was long but nice cold to start but warmed up. I guess I will have your son for Thanksgiving dinner too, can't wait
I hope you had safe travels! I can't thank you enough!! This means so much to me. I don't know if you post pics on here or if it's easier to email or text them. My email is
Gptsr56@cox.net. My phone is 702-289-9576. Whatever is easier.
That is so cool that our boys will be sharing a house. Gary told me it was 6 of them. I am so nervous with him in the snow. Gary never lived in the snow. We would go to the snow to play but it's different living in it. Well enjoy tomorrow!! And thank you again!
Gina :)
That's awesome that they are bros, lol, Christopher is off to BS but I figure we will want to come home as often as he can and I won't end up there in the winter. he actually volunteered for grad and go just to get BS because we are within the 350 mile radius here in Boston. I am currently waiting for my connection in Washington DC, I will make sure Christopher points him out to me and we gets some good shots. I will let you know tomorrow, time to board, nice to "meet" you
Hi again. I just asked Gary. He is section 4. I asked if he knows your son. His response was "that's my bro from day 1." That made me so happy. It's funny that we connected on here and they are "bros"! God works in mysterious ways!
Hi Dawn! My name is Gina Torsky. My son is Gary Torsky. I do not know what section he is in. All he told me is he is class 1405/4. I will see if he gets back to me to see what section he is in. I appreciate you trying to get a picture for me. If you can't, I understand. I wish I was able to go. Will you son go to Ballston Spa next too?
