Thinking of you today. So sorry for your loss. I loved going to the .farm with Dianne. Fred had a warm smile and a twinkle in his eye! For breakfast, after milking the cows, he would bring the fresh warm milk with the cream still at the top of the bottle for my cereal and laugh when I declined his offer to share this treat! Memories are a wonderful gift to celebrate your dad’s life.

Saturday morning. What a lovely person she is. Buying her dad’s favourite flowers.
A word of comfort and sympathy I offered to her.
May your family find comfort in knowing your dad is now at peace in the arms of the Lord.
If you ever need to have a word of comfort or a listening ear, I will be here for you.
