I wish I had known where Garnett was before her passing. Was very sorry to here that she had cancer. Does anyone know where her brother Jim is? I spent so many wonderful times on there sheep farm. Remember getting up at 5:00 AM just to have time to get ready for school. Her Mother had such a large breakfast fixed for all the farm hands and family. She must of worked most of the night. When it was 40 below and all the piles of snow were on the road we would have to ride several miles to the main road to catch the school bus. Anyway I do think of those times and am so happy I have such good memories being on the farm. There are many more memories and at times they all come back.

Rest in peace my dear friend.
