So sorry for your loss Eddie and Lora. I have fond memories of riding the bus to Bible Way Church on Sunday mornings with your family. Your dad was always light-hearted and liked to joke around even in the midst of his pain. Your mother was a sweetheart too. Remembering you and your family in prayer.
