I think everyone is getting a good idea of what he was like. It made me feel better to write about him. Thanks for the birthday wishes - I had a nice relaxing day.Alyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15806756079227306837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6741900454446886953.post-61552095597121103612007-10-09T21:31:00.000-05:002007-10-09T21:31:00.000-05:00Hi Alyssa, Your words about Fred paint a picture o...Hi Alyssa, <BR/><BR/>Your words about Fred paint a picture of a vibrant, happy soul - full of life and determined to live every day to the fullest. I would never have guessed his age! <BR/><BR/>It is always hard losing one of our close family members ... I am glad that you were able to spend time together mourning and also celebrating the life of a wonderful person. I think it's great that your memories of Fred bring a smile to your face.<BR/><BR/>Happy Birthday to you!! I love the pictures of the deer ... boy, they can destroy Hostas pretty darn thoroughly!<BR/><BR/>I hope you have a good rest of the week.

Thinking of him makes me smile. That does help a lot. The weekend after the funeral we both did some work in the gardens. It does clear the mind and sooth the soul.<BR/><BR/>Old Tom - Thank you for your kind wishes. Yes, we do a lot of talking about Steve's father and I seem to learn something new about him all the time. <BR/><BR/>Dee - I'm sorry I didn't let everyone know that I was fine. I will leave a little note if something like this comes up again. Thank you for your kind words - it means a great deal to me.Alyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15806756079227306837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6741900454446886953.post-54586115996646098162007-10-08T19:02:00.000-05:002007-10-08T19:02:00.000-05:00Oh my Dear Alyssa,Our prayers and thoughts go fort...Oh my Dear Alyssa,<BR/>Our prayers and thoughts go forth<BR/>I was worried about you…now it all makes sense<BR/><BR/>What a lovely tribute to a wonderful man that must have Touched MANY lives.<BR/>Happy Belated Birthday, we took off for DC to be with our daughters, the Eldest will soon celebrate her Birthday as well.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Again the Deer are totally awesome.<BR/><BR/>Bottom line I was worried about yaDeeMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14775898919722565676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6741900454446886953.post-73442158124981605602007-10-08T14:58:00.000-05:002007-10-08T14:58:00.000-05:00I fine tribute to a fine man for sure.
