I was surprised to hear, after my Christmas card was returned, that my second cousin, Lawson, had passed away. I wish the family had been notified so we could have attended the services.

Just 2 short months ago, I flew to Savannah to be with Ed and my Mom, Jessie. Ed always called her Jessica. They were never married but were together for over 30 years through thick and thin. I will miss them both now but know they are together finally. Ed had a hard time after Mom died but I'm glad he won't have to be alone any more. Carol
