Mother and Maw-Maw,
Keep Big Ed and Uncle Bred company and say hello to all of our extended family. Thank you for being a devoted mother to all of us and for being a fighter in the last years of your life. The world is a lot less gentle place and has a lot less spunk, style, and pizazz without you in it. Lots of love.
Tommy, Rachel, Sarah, Dylan Kurtz
