A Tree To Remember

Dad, Grandma and I continue to be overwhelmed by the love and thoughtfulness shown to us by the Orearville community after having lost grandpa. The Orearville staff surprised us one afternoon by presenting the 3 of us with a lovely new bench, that now sits outside of dad's office, in grandpa's honor. Above it hangs the nicest plaque and picture of him. It's nice to walk into work each day and "see" him. We were so touched.
Then last Monday night, the Orearville 4-H purchased and planted a Blooming Pear tree in his honor. The tree was planted in the southeast corner of the school lot. They too put a plaque stating that the tree is there in honor of AW Neff.
I know he is smiling down from heaven for the acts of kindness done on his behalf. He would be so proud and so very honored.
He was such a good man and loved by so many. We miss you grandpa.
