Dr. Ed, sorry to hear of your mom's passing. I appreciated chatting with her when I worked in the polls at the Village Hall. We discussed you and it was obvious to me that she was very proud of your success. It has been a long time since our days in the Army Reserve.

Dear Kathy and Mary Ellen,



I was so sorry to hear of your mom's death. Though I never met your mom, just knowing Ed tells me what a great person she was. I will keep you and your families in my prayers.



Love,



Mary
