Janice,

We are so sorry for your loss.

I will miss Eddie popping up from behind the fence to talk to me when I am working in the yard. He was a great guy.

We are both here for you if you need anything. Please don't hesitate to ask if you ever need our help.

Jan,

Bob & I are so sorry for your loss. He was a great guy! We will miss him in April for our birthday dinners. I think the 3 of us should go out in April because Ed would want you to go and celebrate his life with us since we've been doing this for the past few years. Take care. Love, Bob & Gerri Valente
