I spent lots of time with my Erpelding cousins on their farm and have wonderful memories of all those years. I will forever remember Doug. He accidentally clubbed me in the head during a game of softball. He had a powerful swing! That bat busted open my eyebrow and gave me a big ol´ goose egg! Sweet memories. RIP, dear cousin.
