Edwin Meredith was my 1st cousin - the son of the brother of my Mother's sister, Mary. I had not seen him in many years; but we kept in touch through Christmas cards until he became ill. He sent me a book he made after doing extensive research on family history. I still treasure it and appreciate his kindness more than I can say. My cousin, Bobby, also Uncle Eddie's son is the last living from that family of 5 cousins. I am the last living of Aunt Mary's family of 5. Ed was a wonderful man. My condolences to his family, I would love to hear from anyone in the family that chooses to be in touch. We were all blessed to know Ed. Carolyn Burns
