Aunt Marg, From the weekends, summer vacations and holidays I spent with you on the farm and throughout my life you were there for all the milestones. Even the conversations I had with you in recent years. I am grateful for that person you were and thankful you were there!

Sorry to hear about Aunt Marg. Thinking of you all at this difficult time. It is hard to say goodbye to your mom.
Bruce and I stayed with your mom and dad for a little bit after mom’s car accident in 1959. I was seven and Bruce was 5. I remember having gingerale there. Funny how you remember little things.
I can’t be with you on Friday since we are away but sending hugs. Will watch on Haskett’s Facebook page.
