    I am so sorry to hear of your losses. It is hard. Take time to greive. I would say with the heavenly pull you have now Dave, your syrup seasons will be plentiful. So when the buckets are overflowing in the years to come, look to the skies and smile because it isn't just mother nature at work anymore. God Bless.

    I am very sorry about your loss. I know its tough. I lost my mother during sap season in 2002. It was devastating to the whole family. But with time, things will get better and your days will be brighter.
