245,855 - if you count dealerships

My grandmothers both passed away in 2008. Grandmother (Geraldine) Seller’s died on Saturday November 15th, 2008. She had been in assisted living for some time and under hospice care recently.

I’m mourning her. I went through a bunch of pictures last night from the Sellers family. I spent much of my youth, particularly summers, up on their farm. I learned about hard work, life and death, farming, animals, hunting, sharing, assisting others, and disclipline.  A lot of useful values and principles were passed along.

Grandma - you’ll be missed!
