I´m a bit late to adding my condolences but that lovely woman taught me how to fish and gut a catfish and how to make piroshkis which I had never tasted before. She was kind and loving and bought me a bowling ball that fit my bent finger. I was in love with her son and remember thanking her for naming him Tim which is a name I will always have a place in my heart for. I wanted to stay in touch with her but my life took a detour north. I always remembered your many kindnesses Edwina and that you and my eldest sister shared an unusual name.
