Well this is the day my dad passed in 2007 he was the first of the three muskateers

The Three Muskateers:  two men worked together grew up together joined the Railways together Then the third man joined the throng The three men got married to three beautiful women each were best men and bridesmaids to each others.

These three couples had two chidren each all around the same age hence new Uncles and Aunts were founded they all grew up together even when the men got transfered to other parts of W.A. with the railways the school  holidays were such fun out in the country air visiting the Uncles and Aunts going swimming in lakes and playing in the surrounding bushland with nature. A bond was born!

These three men retired from the Railways one lived in Perth One in Rockingham And the other in Bunbury they still kept intouch they all started to grow Orchids very succesful at that. One couple (my parents) looked after the race club for 20years as well as the Orchids and the bond was still there. Over the years there was party's weddings and grand children. 

Sadly in Oct 2007 my father passed the first, in August 2009 one uncle passed  and 16th Oct 2009 fri gone the third passed  The Three Angel Muskateers are still watch the trains go by and the families still bonding together in the time of need 

Now we have The Three Muskets left and the children and grandchildren  are all  still saying close even tho they are all over the state aswell 

night Dad, Uncle Len and Uncle Fred

How beautiful Vicki.  How you describe their life, very rare to find those bonds.  I know they are doing just that,   watching the families and the trains. Bonds like that can't just end.  How very special to have had that, more people to care about makes the world warmer and so much better.

 Sad to hear the passing of the third Musketeers, my deepest thoughts go out to you my friend and to you uncles entire family.

The Three Musketeers can not only watch the trains go by together but ride the rails together, while they are watching over you all.

These are sweet memories you have, precious and to be treasured...as you remember your dear Dad's passing dear Vicki.

Warm Hugs to you...Janice xxx

Your precious memories will stand the test of time!
