Carlyle and Edith:
I came into your family, and out of everyone, you two made me feel like family. When Dewey and I were married, you lived the furthest away, but you were there for us, on our special day, and the visits we had, were ones that I will always remember. You both were the favorite of my heart. Carlyle always had that smile, that always lite up the deepest southern sky, and his stories of old were so much fun. We are sorry that we couldnt be there for you, But you will always be in our hearts and minds. God gave your family a special angel, and now he takes you home. Our prayers are with you Aunt Edith. and always know we love you.
Our memories will always be fond ones.

Love you,
Nephew Dewey Jr. & Connie Collier
