Dearest Jim,
My, oh, my the memories! I don't know where to begin. Whether, as a kid, eating at Howard Johnson's on Mondays for the all-you-can-eat chicken dinners and listening to such fun conversations, or go-karting afterward, or visiting with you on all those occasions when the two of you and Mom and Dad would get together - there are just so many memories packed into a lifetime. Thank you for them.
One of the ones I particularly remember about Marty was the time I was home from college and I had just acquired a new 10 speed bike. She immediately enlisted me to join her on a ride from our house to the Schnucks store at Hampton and Gravois. She was quite ready to pedal on back home, but I didn't think I could make it and had to call Mom to come fetch me and the bike. Marty hitched a ride, but she didn't enjoy it.
I will always cherish the memories of her warm smile and laugh.
My thoughts and prayers are with you always.
Love,
Nancy Hardy Eding

Jim,

I am so sorry about Marty. I am glad I got to see her one last time before she passed. I've always said to you that you and Marty are my adopted grandparents. I will miss not seeing her at our lunches at the Cafe but she will always be there in spirit. I love you both very much and whatever you need, I will be here.
