Mr Adams, I remember the kindness you and Carol showed my family during my mothers illness,and subsequent passing. How you and the Lockes encouraged my family by supporting my Dad during those difficult days, and how the Maine Forest Service was represented at his funeral by yourself and others. The Maine Forest Service allowed my family to grieve,supported by the camaraderie that Dad so enjoyed. May that same sense of support be with you during this difficult time.
