In Loving Memory...

Sometimes an event happens that causes you to pause, reflect and realize that there is much more out there in life than your personal pursuits, gains and triumphs. Due to such an event, I've decided to put a special post up that has nothing to do with our house, our dream and the work that we either stress about or enjoy with this project, day in and day out. I will update the house again on the weekend, rather than the recent pictures and posts I had planned during this week.

This post is dedicated to the loving memory of Jeff Doty, who left us early Sunday morning, the 14th of October. Jeff was the spouse of my cousin Karen Doty (nee Anderson), whom we are very close to. Jeff was a 'great guy' in the true sense of that phrase. We grieve for the loss and wish we could be there to help comfort the family we love so much. When the rest of our relatives gather to remember Jeff at Karen's 'Big Ass Party' we'll have a beer for him down here, because that's exactly how he'd like to be remembered! He was a loving and caring father and husband to Karen, Andrew and Natalie and a warm and welcoming friend to everyone else and he will be truly missed by all that were lucky enough to have the pleasure to know him.
