I have many memories of visiting Uncle Eddie and Aunt dot when I was a child. Aunt Dot was a wonderful lady. I can't imagine what Uncle Eddie is going through. To be married 64 years is amazing! I send my love to Uncle Eddie, Bonnie Gay, Lynn Ray, Michael and families.
God bless, Cheryl Saintcross (Barbara's daughter)
