BIL, I remember that greenhouse well. I thought it was some kind of secret clubhouse where I couldn't go. Probably because the green thumb gene skipped me entirely. :) And we're proud to have you. Nancy, I have lots of those lilies too. It's a testament to their hardiness that they've survived my benign neglect. Thank you all! BIL, I remember that greenhouse well.

It makes me smile to read - less the Republican part - we were raised very much the same. I will always remember Uncle Ed and his lillies. I have some transplanted from your parent's yard in my yard and plan to take them with me when we move. Praying for you as you remember. I am very thankful that your memories are so wonderful. <3, Nancy Hi Kathy - Again, your words are beautiful. It makes me smile to read - less the Republican part - we were raised very much the same.

Watch out for anniversary grief, now. It can make you nuts. What a lovely couple of posts, and what a hell of a year you’ve had. Watch out for anniversary grief, now. It can make you nuts.

Everyone could see he and your mom love their family deeply. I think nothing made them more happy than being with their children and especially their grandchildren. He was a gifted gardener and past this on to his son. I love the story of he and Ken building a little green house outside Ken's bedroom window. Of course I can see no greater compliment to he and your mom, than to see that they raised such well rounded, giving, loving children who care so much for their community and its people. You and Ken have stood up from us, spoke up for us, and I know one occassion where you "sang out" for us. (what an incredible voice) You and Ken are a beautiful legacy of your parents. I am so honored and proud to be a part of your family. Ed Baker was a gentleman. Everyone could see he and your mom love their family deeply.

It doesn't stop the wishing, though, does it? Thanks for the hugs! No, they don’t. It doesn’t stop the wishing, though, does it? Thanks for the hugs!
