Letter from Susun this morning saying she was reading this from my blog and she wondered
if Edsel teased her with a cat when he entered Heaven.
Dorothy wrote this poem with memories from our childhood. Certainly covers everything.
I wish I knew when she wrote this, because it certainly was our life.
In those days we had either a week or two week revival and always we had the visiting preacher, visiting
song leader and our pastor and his wife for meals. Now revivals are almost a
thing of the past.
Today we wittness the reason Mother and Dad gave us this Baby Sister, so that
she could take care of us when we got old. What a Jewel she has been to Edsel
and his sweet bride during these last few months. It is almost like losing her father
again as Ed has been right there for her during all her years.
We all know Heaven is funnier this morning. He is probably Mayor by now.
and of course will watch the final game.

This is the very best of life. The Lord has been so good. Having each other for 80 plus years. We will enjoy celebrating , Uncle Edsel life, this week end. I love you, Mom
Tonight as we prayed for the Floyd family in our small group bible study, I told them of the life of Uncle Ed and my anticipation of what the next couple of days would bring. Sadness, yes, because selfishly we will miss him...but more than that, JOY for a life well lived. We are so blessed to KNOW where Edsel is this day and I, like Judy, am grateful for his 80+ years of walking the walk and talking the talk. Thanks be to God for the Gift!
Merry
Thank you, Polly, thank you.
