Dear Mazie, Eddie Wayne, and Patty, and the rest of the family - I send sincere sympathy to you. I told Alvin the other night that I think Edward and Mazie taught me to water ski. And Edward was always Alvin's go-to guy when he was wrestling with how to repair something or how to build something. He would say, "I am going to Edward's and see what he has to say." I know that you will support one another in the difficult days ahead. I also want you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

My thoughts and prayers are with each of you. I have lots of wonderful memories of my childhood with the Moles family. Mazie I remember when you and Edward were married and lived in the apt at the Moles farm, lots of fun times. May God give you the strength you all need at this time and just know that you are in my prayers.

PaPa Ed,

I haven't seen you in a very long time I grew up beside you and I have fond memories of setting on your lap while you peeled apples for me... You were like the grandpa I never had growing up. I will miss you and regret that my children didn't get to meet such a special & sweet person. You will always be in my heart.
Love,
Margie
