Gebe, Dewey, Larry, Tracy and all Ed's family. Sorry we could not attend Ed's visitation or funeral. We had to go to Evansville on business. We are so glad we saw him at Wal-Mart and talked with him for a few minutes a couple of weeks before his passing. Thank goodness he isn't suffering any more.
Dude and Gebe, we'll talk to you soon,
Sonnie & John
