The first time I met Clint, Eddie had taken me home to meet the family. When we walked into the door Clint was crying...he was getting a haircut with Big Edd's home barber kit. Big Edd must have hit a dull spot on his clippers and it had pulled Clint's hair.At the tender age of 9, he was very embarrassed for me to see his tears. I knew I belonged with this family because Clint had my red hair! Hard to believe that was over 42yrs ago. Trish, Jen & Samantha, I'm so sorry that circumstances prevent us from being with you on Tuesday. Please know we will be there in mind & spirit.
Your Sister in Law, Laura Matkins
