I met Ed and Mary on a bus tour to Canada. They were a great pair of fun people. Everyone enjoyed their humor and just friendly people. Every year after the tour was over I sent them a Christmas card and they replied even after Mary passed away. I will cherish the memories of both of them. Pam W. Collins

I was thinking of Uncle Eddie today, and realized he´d be almost as old as my dad was when he transitioned. I will never forget the kindness he showed toward my dad in later years, and how he looked after gramma and grampa, aunt Agnes, and aunt Mary when she visited. I know it´s been a year since he passed, I hope all of you are doing well. May Uncle Eddie Rest in Peace and may his Memory be a Blessing.

I met Ed and Mary on a bus trip and the whole bus was fun and friendly due to them. I had been sharing Christmas cards for the last 3-4 yrs, Mary passed away and now Ed. I pray they have found each other again. Love, Pam W. Collins of Sikeston, MO.
