    Evelyn, So sorry to hear about Ed and wish you the best during this difficult time. I rarely look at the Hendersonville paper, but for some reason I did today. I have such great memories of the times we spent together, mostly on the golf course, and loved to hear Ed's tales of growing up. Your 67 years together was a remarkable achievement. God Bless! Love, Linda

    Edd although I never called you "Uncle" you were the best uncle a girl could have. What will we do without you! You will be in my heart forever. My thoughts are with my Aunt and Godmother Eve, cousins Judy and Tom. Second cousins Stephanie and Steve and Third cousin Rebehak

    I am sorry for the loss of your Dad, Judy. I have thought of you often over the years and laugh out loud at the fond memories we created together. Your Mom and Dad were very blessed to have such a long life together. I am sure you are taking good care of her in his absence. Feel free to write to me if you like. I would be happy to share stories with you about our lives after 1964. Blessings on you and your family. Nancy
