Uncle Edwin, I am so sorry to hear about Aunt Tot. I often think of your family and their strong relationship with each other. I have such fond memories of when Tot and you took me in for those months back in 1962. Tot made me a part of your family's life with church, handling all the busy days and school activities for Connie, Buddy and then me. She made sure to make me part of the family. She has always been a wonderful person to me and I will miss her kindness.

Uncle Edwin, I am so sorry to hear about Aunt Tot. All of you have a special place in my thoughts. Aunt Tot, you, Connie and Buddy made me feel like one of the family when you took me in for those 6 months back in 1963. She had to put up with a second 13 year old with all the additional school and activities kids create. Tot was special and was wonderful to me.
