    Sad to see Uncle Graham passed. A honest hard working man and a true farmer who kept the neatest homestead. Always loved the visits to those sheds growing up. Except the hair cuts. lol God bless the family. RIP Uncle Graham.

    I remember as a young girl visiting from ontario. Aunt Nellie was alive then my dad didn't come with us it was my mom,my little brother. I thought I would miss my dad they all looked so much a like it was comforting. A few years ago we came for a visit I was afraid he wouldn't recognize me when he opened the door I said you know who I am yes I do you look just like your mother, we hugged and we talked about all his kids and grand kids showed me pictures he was so proud!! God bless you all !! Lisa V
