A picture of dad taken in October of 2004 on his other pride and joy,his tractor after doing some leaf cleanup.the lady of the house took it.Marlene wrote a verse that is at the top of it .It reads:If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane,we would walk right up to heaven and bring you home.I thought it very touching.The internment is on Monday at 11:00 in the morning at Bowmanville Cemetary.It will be a short ceremony ,with Reverend Lafave there saying a few words.We had 50 donations, 25 to our church Trinity United ,20 to ALS, some to Lakeridge Health Bowmanville, 1 to the Cancer Society,one to the Toronto Humane Society and one to the Canadian National Institute for the Blind.I counted the guestbook,223 people paid their respects so it goes to show dad was popular around here.Starting a week from Monday,i am going to church with mom ,not this Sunday too soon,next Sunday is Easter.Dad liked going to hear Reverend Lafave,missed it when he couldn't go and mom always brought a paper from the service ,so dad could keep up on what was going on.fritz has settled down for the night under the litle couch.
