Teri,Patti & Boys,

So sorry my Mom(Greta Jackson Rice) and my Dad (Ed Rice) along with myself, were unable to attend the funeral for your dad. To my Mom and Dad he was a VERY special Cousin and remembered with GREAT fondness. I remember coming to visit you all, many times, after our family moved to Delaware. Your Dad had a special and wonderful sense of humor and was so full of love for all of you that he let it spill over to include our family, as well. Dad and Mom knew him as a favorite "cousin" but cherished him as a "Good Friend". Love and Prayers to All, Peggy Rice Poppiti
