I am sorry to hear of Ed's homegoing. He was such a kind and caring person and was very special to two little girls who did not have a dad. We always looked forward to you and your family coming.
I would like to be at the service but I don't drive out of town--one of the things I really miss as a widow.
Love and Prayers For Your Family

Bill and I were saddened to hear of his brothers death on Dec 6th which was also Bill's Birthday. He will certainly be missed. Glad we were just down there last week to see both Edna and Edward and their family. May our wonderful Lord and Savior be your comforter especially during this time of sorrow and forevermore.
