Today would have been your 88th birthday.July 20

When I was younger and living in

W.B.L. I often wondered who lived down the rock drive,with the small green sign that said Hillary Farm.

Some 30 years later I would have the answer.

Iam blessed to know you and your family.Joy and memories with tears have flooded over me this last week.

I will reflect on everything you have tought me this last year and a half.I will have our love of conversation and the colors we visioned together.

When I bake or make cream brulee,I will think of you and the time we had together.

Remember the picture of you and MR. B.holding his arm.I said,"you looked so happy.How proud you were to be with him" You are by his side now.



I would clean your glasses and put them on you and say "better to see you with my dear" Now you can look down fron the heavens and help me through my life and remind me to be proud of my husband,my family. like you were of yours.

We enjoyed each other.

I will miss you with all my heart.

Dear Bemis Family,

Sad heart to think that such a good friend is gone. Our love and our prayers are with you. I will miss the voice, the stories the laughter and the smile and especially the way she would say, "Now Christopher, no running by the pool."

Love to you all

Christopher and Kelly Daniels
