Dearest Ed-
Mike and I talked about you a lot this Christmas, you were thought of often. He even ate those powdery cookies that you loved so much in your memory.
You have a great grandchild now, Madeline Rose. There are times that I swear I hear you and walk in the room to see Mike playing with her-he sounds so similar to you at times.
Just wanted to let you know that you are in our hearts and missed everyday.
