I'll never forget being at the lake in your boat watching all you older girls trying to get up on water skis. Not to mention ALL of the get-togethers our parents and families had. I remember a lot of laughter coming from both Eddie and Sis. Good memories. And I'm so sorry for your loss, but thankful for his long life.
