The stories continue...this rich community has grown to embrace family memories and those of friends near and far.
local friends, Bernadette and Jim have shared stories that were too long to be fully included so I am sharing here....Bernadette's father Edgar,
Edgar Robichaud
June 20, 191 - June 30, 1989
My dad worked hard to raise five children and it was a job well done. Dad always had a vegetable garden. Looking back I realize that each time a child left the house as a productive adult Edgar's garden grew. Oh how he loved and nurtured his tomatoes as he did each child. I too have a love for tomatoes and an endless love for my son.
Jim's parents
Lois and Fritz fell in love during WWII. Their date sport was golf which they enjoyed for many years. I'm sure they're on the links together again.

What a marvelous way to honor those remembered! I normally do mine in scrapbook albums, but I'm thinking I need to do a collage. My sister-in-law's dad reminds me of Edgar, with his garden.
