Dear Jimmy and Janet,
I have wonderful memories of your family. Your mom and my mom were best friends and your entire family was so kind to us, always. I recall the sheep, the tiny doll clothes sewn by Mrs. Watt, the wooden village Janet and Ellen painted for us to play with, the dirt bikes and snowmobiling in the Watt's field, blueberry picking, yard sales, flea marketing, fun nights of babysitting, visiting the dairy, being amazed by all of your artistic talents, posing for "fever", and thinking Jimmy was the next best thing to Sean Cassidy. Our parents were the best and I'm grateful for the childhood they created for us. I picture your dad in that high back chair, always happy to see us. I love the photo you chose of beautiful Mr. and Mrs. Watt. That's how I remember them.

Janet: Tom and I just found out about your dad's passing. We are so sorry for your loss. I lost my mom this past June, so if you need to talk, please know I'm here to listen. Your dad has passed thru this earthly physical veil and is finally with your mom. You now have two angels in Heaven to help you; just remember to call on them often. You're in my thoughts and prayers. God bless you.

I remember Cliff when I worked on Watt Dairy Farm in the late 1970s / early 1980s.

Jim & Janet when I was little I enjoyed going to the farm. I used to wish I could live there. It was alot of fun playing in the barn running from the animals. Snowmobiling, playing on the pool table in the cellar. Going into the Old Hospital across the street. That was scary but fun!! Uncle Cliff was really nice to me when I was going through my divorce. Offered to help me. I will NEVER forget that. My DEEPEST CONDOLENCES TO JIM & JANET MY LOVE TO YOU BOTH !! Dear Uncle Cliff rest in peace & I'm sure your reunited with Aunt Viola & Ellen. Love to you all!! Someday we will see each other again.
