Dear Dyer family.....My family and I have a long relationship with Ed and Helen Dyer or "Uncle Ed" and "Aunt Helen" as we liked to call them as my sister, brother and I grew up. My folks, John and Gwen Greene, along with the rest of us,(Alan, Laura and me, Lisa) have so many fond memories of family get togethers with them always right there with us smiling and laughing. We often talk about them playing bridge together and Dad and "Uncle Ed" changing the outcome to their advantage whenever our Mom and "Aunt Helen" would go to the kitchen!! In fact, Dad and I were just talking about that today. Please accept, on behalf of our entire family, our thoughts and prayers...
