Thinking of you all today. Thinking of my Uncle who always seemed larger than life. I can still see you driving us around the farm pointing out my pet sheep and saying there´s her babies. Thank you for loving us.

To Florence and the family, our thoughts are with you all as you pass through this time of farewell to a very special person that has been your leading light over so many years. The memories of time shared are flowing and too much to write about here but the Mossburn days for you all are alive and bright for now, it has been a privilege to share them with Tad and the family. A big man with an even bigger heart. Florence big hugs over the e waves love Jo and Lindsay Muir
