I want to share part of a letter from my brother which expresses my thoughts and feelings at this difficult time of reflection.
"Brother and Connie did so much to take us in after Mom passed and while Dad recovered from the loss. Brother and the Reynolds were true Maine people, and had big hearts; always giving latitude and exuding tolerance to those around them. Brother, himself, was an extremely hard worker and was so very well accomplished as a person running the Farm / Golf Course and being involved with community as part of their law enforcement team just to key on a couple of his life's accomplishments. I always remember him as being fair & honest and never being without a good old Maine story anecdotal to whatever the conversation subject might be. We, for the most part were too young to understand the sacrifice fully, and so must now only surmise how this difficulty was overcome and contented with." Bruce Stearns
I hold Uncle Brother close to my heart for everything he did for me during several vulnerable times in my life.
Until I can hear you telling your stories again; enjoy sharing them with your family in heaven, Uncle.
