Mr. Edwards smiled and said "Good night baby!" and I gave him a little smooch on the forehead good night, not knowing it would be the last time I would see him. In the short time we knew him, he made us laugh on many occasions. He missed Mary so and now they are together again. Linda and Celia, you were wonderful daughters and he told us that practically every day! We will miss him.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I remember back years ago when we all went to Antioch Church. I have a lot of fond memoires of those years.

George -- I am going to miss you so! I know you are smiling as you know I have bragged about my "senior" uncle being so good on the computer! How I will miss our chats. I know you are happy being with Mary and for that, I have comfort. Celia and Linda, if I can do anything, please let me know. I love you both. Betsy
