Dear Mary,Val,Daria,Hil,Claudia and Ward,
We are thinking of you and praying for you, we have so many fond memories of Uncle Ed, taking us to the sand dunes, riverview and lincoln park zoo to name a few. Imagine 11 kids and only him! Could any of us attempt that? I know Pete never did. I am sure they are having quite a reunion! Love the Rogers and Palka families.
