Dear Folks
Your mom, Bobbie, and dad, Edmund, were among the best ever anywhere.

I met Bobbie and Edmund in 1967 and knew without equivocation that these two persons were first class citizens. This was to be proven over and over, at work and at church. When ever either's service was needed you could expect full quality service.

I always felt at home with them either beside the pool or inside the board room. You can be proud of both of them and know that they left a significantly positive memory.

Dear Edmund and Family'
What a special lady she was!! And, you two could have posed for the manual on how faithful and loving marriages should be. You two just always belonged together, and we were always happy to see you.
With our love and prayers,
Polly and John
