My thoughts and prayers are with you aunt Marge and cousin Barbara in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort in the lonely days ahead. What I remember the most about my uncle Archie was how he loved to plant beautiful flowers on the graves of his mom, dad, sister, brothers and other family members who had already passed before him. The Albany Rural Cemetery was one of his favorite places to spend his spare time. That was always very important to him. I remember walking through that cemtery with him as a little girl. He would tell me about the beautiful birds and animals that lived there.
Yes he also made you laugh with his jokes.... he was one of a kind and will always be remembered.
God bless you uncle Archie and please watch over us from heaven until the day we can join your there.
Your niece Sandra (Petegal) Van Kirk
