Gone, but not forgotten.
This time of year, Irv & Marilyn are often in my thoughts - I remember their deep enjoyment of family & friends around the long table, spirited Trivia games, the piano, Marilyn's many kindnesses to me, & many walks with Irv, in all weathers.
Our most special walks were those when the turkeys tagged along, foraging thru the woods as we walked the footpath.
They delighted Irving, he so enjoyed their contact talk & busy scuffling.
I still miss them both.
