Bedella is such a rare name. I'm sure we must be related.

Grandpa was a very nice person. I remember one time we went to a baseball game and we were there together. It was very fun.

Dear Bedella family, So sorry I did not know any of Alfred's wife or children. Alfred was a good friend during my teen years. I remember him as a very kind and caring young man. Please accept my condolences as you lay him to rest.
