We were friends of Edna and Earl. Edna was a classy lady. She loved her son's. She enjoyed the arts. She was very nice to us when they belonged to the boat club. Our children were little and it was a treat to join them on the lake.
Larry worked with Earl, he loved to hear about Earl's World War II stories. He was in many dangerous situations and so young.
We're sorry we kind've lost touch with them over the years. We did visit with Rick and keep up a little with Edna and Earl.
Our sympathy to the Family. Peace to all of you. Edna is surely in Heaven for all her suffering.
