Fond memories of you will linger forever dear, Dear Uncle Ed! As a child, riding with you on your tractor, hunting in your barn for the newly born kittens, etc. The love and support you extended following my/our parents' very untimely deaths. And, more recently, marvelling at your knowledge and expertise of grafting the fruit trees in your orchard. Your unforgettable LAUGHTER will always remain in our hearts... May you find peace, and peace, and PEACE. Much/ALL love, Marilyn - Posted by: Marilyn I. Rosine (Niece) on: Jan 04, 2012
