Still miss my garden buddy every spring when your peach tree and tall yellow Japanese Kerria flowers bloom. RIP with Bruce by your side....hopefully taking walks with Waldo again. Give him a stick for me.

RIP my beloved gardening buddy. You were a favorite neighbor always. I will always think of you when I see peach trees, monstera plants, long hair yr torti cats, and porcelain knick knacks. Thank you for all of the talks on the wooden bench on your front porch. John and I will be sure to visit you at Fairplains and bring you flowers from our garden when it gets warmer. Love you, little friend.
