Dear Aunt Vivian and family,
I wish I could be with you to share your sorrow and memories of happier times. When I think of Uncle Laird, his woodworking abilities come to mind first. He was an inspiration to a whole generation of craftsmen and women. His love of handiwork will live on as we develop the gift of creating with wood in our children.
