It was a bitter sweet trip to Anderson, Indiana 9-10-11th of November to Alice,s funeral, I know Alice for 67 years, she was a wonderful person. In the early 1950's I would go up to Ohio to visit Bill and Alice as much as I could,It was great to be around them. Their four boys are grown men now, that makes me feel old,it was nice to visit with them and their family and their friends , I visited with my two brother Louie and Bill my two sisters Daisy and Mary .Bill,God said, you have two people,Boy and Girl they fall in love, they get married and now you are -ONE- Bill, you and Alice knew exactly what God meant!! Love Ed and Jan Karkosky
