My dear uncle Garfield, one of the kindest men I know, one of those true men that are a rare kind these day’s. My fond childhood memories of camping with my uncle and Sean and Krysta. My fond lunch dates we got to have at the hospital while my son was admitted. I will never forget that day, you were definitely my rock that one day and I never got to thank you. I was going through a nitrate of my own , learning things I never would have imagined and I was in panic mode, Owen’s first preach change and I was learning, you looked up at me from the lunch table and , you told me Dawn you got this , you are a strong woman you looked out for everyone and all the animals at the farm the site of blood never bothered you. You can do it , as I also told him , you also got this and you really did for a long time. I will miss you but am also so proud of you.
Love always Dawn Owen Andrea and Cabella
