Dear Eddy Family,
I remember your Mom as a wonderful and very sweet lady. We (Fulks family) also lived on Greenwood Avenue in Akron and us older kids (Linda, Raymond and Gary) would visit and feed snacks to the dog (Joe the boxer). Your Mom always had a smile and a great laugh - she will be missed. Much love and peace to your family.

Roger-
I know how much you love your Mom and will miss her. Though I only met her once, it was easy to see why you adored her. My deepest sympathy to you and your family.
