Dear Kathy and Family,

I'm am so sorry to read of Eddie's death. We were good neighborhood friends back in the 1940's playing in the "Barn", on Danker Hill, and tearing around playing "head-on, tag, hide-and-seek," and numerous other games. We had quite a wonderful gang. Betty and Bud were leaders of our happy days. I've always chereshed those old Manning memories....just as I cherish your and my old VI memories. We lived during a golden era!

My deepest sympathy to all of you on your loss of such a memorable man.

Sincerely,
Joan Ehrhardt Coyle
