My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I have so many fond memories of spending time on the farm with Auntie Steffie and Uncle Bert. Some of the memories I hold close to my heart is when Auntie Steffie would take me out to the pea patch in the garden and let me pick and eat as many peas as I could, some memories not held so close like the time Auntie Steffie and my mother Kathy felt it would be very important for me to witness a calf being born. I spent alot of time growing up on the farm and loved every minute of it. Auntie Steffie, you hold a special place in my heart and will be missed. - Posted by: Sandy Trudeau (nee Telesky) (Niece) on: Apr 25, 2013
