To my sweet Brother in Love who always made his little brother Phil smile with joy for all the visits we had with you. I remember you hitting the ball almost to I35 from the Southridge park the day before our wedding. The Coda's and Edgington's tied forever that day. So happy you are with John Tommy and Phil... Great men in heaven. Will LOVE YOU forever. Georgina Edgington
