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.
