For Keith

We have been to Harry's cousins funeral today so it's been a mixed day of emotions.
A very unfortunate accident on his farm where he was knocked over while tending his cattle. One of the animals jumped over anothe one & knocked him over onto the concrete floor.
He died doing what he loved the best but far too early.

Three good things:
1. A packed church to show great respect for this farmer & member of his community.
2. Courage of a son to say his fathers eulogy.
3. A lovely meal afterwards with friends & old acquaintances.
Oh how sad. I don't think we always appreciate how difficult farming can be and it's such a shame that he died in this way although as you say, he died doing what he loved. Big hugs to you all
