I will truly miss seeing you in your swing, feeding the squirrels, and joking with me as I walked thru the gate. You were always in a good mood
and had something nice to say.
Thank-U for being part of my life, as I called you my Old Fart & you will not be forgotten.
love you, your Young Fart

Rick,Cheryl and Aunt Edna, Sorry we couldn't make it to the memorial service. I had to be in Charlotte, NC that day and couldn't get back in time. Deena and I send our condolences and prayers in this your time of sorrow. I have many fine memories of Uncle Trevor. I know you will miss him just as I miss mom and dad every day. I am sure his brothers welcomed him with open arms.
