As a child, I will always remember uncle Ed's "jokes." He had a warn heart and always made us feel welcome when we could come and visit. When the bubble gum factory was open he sent us home with a bag full of gum. Good memories. May God Bless Clare, Ellen, Laurie and Judy. We now have another angel looking over us!
