I have fond childhood memories of visiting my Aunt Marie and Uncle Orville at their farm. I don’t remember all of the details as I was quite young, but I do remember it was always a good time...compete with lots of my family members (grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins), endless amounts good food (of course), and many new and interesting “farm” things for Uncle Orville to show my brothers and I (being city kids, we were easy to impress on the farm!). Unfortunately I didn’t get the chance to see them often in my teenage and/or adult years (after my family moved out West), but we did keep up with all the family news, Instagram photos of their kids and grandkids etc. Aunt Marie reminded me of my grandma (her mom), who was one of the kindest, most loving, caring, and genuinely happy and grateful human beings I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. I hope I can grow old half as gracefully as either of them did. My deepest sympathies to the entire family for this loss. She will be missed! Lots of love. Jill, Ryan, Mila and Hugo Neff
