I wanted to say how sorry I was to hear of Edith's passing. I hadn't thought of her or Truman in so long. They were friends or distant relatives of my grandmother, Mary Johns. I can remember as a child, they would pick up my grandmother and take her for rides and sometimes I went along. My grandmother passed away a very long time ago, so obviously our family lost touch. My parents are now both gone also, so when I saw her name it brought back memories that had been so long forgotten. She and Truman were definitely wonderful people and thinking of them has brought back some lovely memories. God Bless.
