Give Grandma Whetstone a big hug for me. Florence, Brent, Amanda and Chris. I'm so sorry you had to see Uncle Eddie as sick as he was... It must have been hard. He was so lucky to have raised such great people and have such a great wife to help him be comforted and loved until his last breath. Thinking of you all as you make your way though this journey. and Uncle Eddie as he makes his was to heaven to meet God.
