I was quite surprised to read about Garland's death. We lived near each other in our early years. His parents, Jimmie and Mrytle, I've known for many years as,well as his Grandparents, uncles and aunts. They were and are God fearing people; well respected thoughout the community. My deepest sympathy goes out to the entire family.
With deep respect,
Maunder Edmonds
