Edward G. Tustin Jr.

Well darlin' as you know by now,we lost our dear friend MaryLou Kane. I am sure you were waiting for her by those Pearly gates.Jack is broken hearted and I have a bad feeling that he will be joining her before long.He seemed so lost at the church. As the days and weeks pass I hope he will come around.Maybe in time those wonderful memories that he has of 63 wonderful years together will help him through his grief, as did my memories of you.

Father's day is coming up. We will be celebrating at Billy's house. We hope you will look down on us with that silly smile of yours. Look for the hot air balloons that will be coming your way. We love you and miss you. You are always in our prayers. Keep us in yours.
Love, Kate

Dear Ed, Phyllis and I didn't get to know you as well as we would have liked, but in the short time that we knew you, we came to love you. Do they have a smoking section up there in heaven? Because if they do we know you and Beverly are sitting side by side puffing away. Phillies are doing a little better this year than last year. Give my sister Beverly and her partner Betty a hug from us. We miss you, Ed, and hope to see you one day, BUT NOT REAL SOON. Love Deanna and Phyllis

Hey Pop, Tinkerbell is now up there with you. It was very heartbreaking for me to lose her but I know she came running straight to you... most likely looking for a treat. However, when you open that bag, don't be surprised when you see that silly dog with the long tongue come running to get one too. It makes me feel good that you've got some doggies up there to keep you company :)

I love you

This is the first time you missed a birthday of your beautiful twin girls, but we know your are watching over them. 52 years old now and they are as pretty as they ever were.I don't know what kind of magic we had when we made these lovely ladies, but I am sure it was our dear Lord who was waving his hand over St. Agnes hospital in South Philly. Remember the nurse said "see what happens Mrs. Tustin when you miss a year, you get two for the price of one". She was so used to us coming back every...

Hey Pop, I wrote a really nice message last night but it never went through. If this one doesn't make it through, I'm gonna have to talk to the management! Anyway, I just said that I love you and miss you. I think of you every day. Fergus still sleeps with me and he hogs the covers. I was thinking the other night and remembered you told me that one thing you wanted to do before you died was to see my apartment and I felt so bad because I never got you over there. I'm sure you can see it...

Miss you my love. Mother's Day will soon be here. It will remind me again of all those years ago when you made me the mother of your wonderful children. I thank God for knowing that I would need them when He was ready to call you home. I would be lost without them. They are definitely a combination of you and I. We did good darlin'

Hi dad. That feels so strange saying that since I've called you Ed for as long as I can remember. I wanted you to know that I've been with mom since you left us. I'm trying to take care of her the best I can. I feel like I've been able to make her laugh a lot. You always said I had enough stories to keep you guys laughing!

I've been sleeping in your bed with Fergus so I can stay close to mom. She plays that silly bear we bought in the gift shop at Temple every night before we go to...

Hey Pop,
What a beautiful message Liz Ashenfelter sent you. I hope you enjoyed sitting on a cloud and reading it. Remember you always told me these were the best years of our lives. You, Lonabaugh,Feconda,and Staino turned out a 75lb team that broke so many records that I am sure no one else has come close to.
