Uncle Jim and Aunt Mary are in my heart forever. They were an integral part of my childhood. I looked up to them in adolescent years when things got tough, and they gave great advice when I needed a mentoring hand. I observed how they lived their lives, building up family, participating with community, even providing refuge for a few wild animals on more than one occasion. Whomever, whatever they touched, they left a positive impression. That's how I remember them.

Sorry to hear of your loss!!!
Bob & your Uncle Richard refinished our hardwood floors on Duncan St. in the 1970.s Even found the freet hrow line in the dining room during sanding off the old stain.
Still beautiful as the day they finished the job when Mom sold in 2004 when she moved to Hot Springs.
