I was sorry to hear about the loss of Earl a well-loved member of the Purple Grove community. I remember the party at Purple Grove when the Elliots first came to the farm from Detroit and I have great memories of many other Purple Grove occasions and also gatherings of the 10th concession neighbours and the bees we had together bringing in hay and straw.

A Father and grandfather who will be sadly missed. The loss of a loved one is so hard to face, you just want to hide, go somewhere and escape! But death is something we all must go through. I know it's hard when it's someone you loved and knew. Just know now, he is in a better place, no more hurt or pain shall he face. It seems unfair, and yes, this is true, but he is in Heaven now watching over me and you! God has called him home to rest!! And he's being well taken care of Because God knows best!
Message from Sandra Forster2016-03-15 16:52:46
To June and all the Elliott, Farrell and Greenwood families: my sincere condolences on the passing of Earl. He was a great patriarch- it was good to see him roaring around on his scooter at the Ripley Reunion last summer! My thoughts are with all his Purple Grove neighbours and friends. Sandra
