Was surprised when your picture popped up on my email this morning. It brought a smile to my face, remembering the sweet memories of you at Shiloh Gardens. You were always so thoughtful and encouraging to all. I never met a more determined man to make it on his own than you. If there was a way to get something done on your own you would find a way! So glad I had you Ed.
