It seems we have to write these condolences much too often anymore.. So sad for the family in the loss of Edward.. I miss those sparkling blue eyes and he always called me Maebelline. I know he is much happier now, running free and whole, playing tricks on and with the friends and loved ones that have gone before.. He, Milton and David are probably having a terrific time right now.. Love all of you... Love, Maebelle
