Uncle Ed, Mike, Kenny, Russell and Jeff.I am so sorry for your loss. I know Aunt Rena was sick for a long time so I'm sure she is at peace now.I just thought of something very funny that happened years ago we were all kids. The boys were throwing rotten tomatoes at cars and one car had the windows down and a tomatoe went in the car. I remember everyone being scared and ran in the house. Those were some fun times.I will keep all of you and Aunt Rena in my prayers.
Uncle Eddie and boys,I was very saddened to hear about Aunt Rena passing. It is so very hard to lose someone so dear. Thanks Uncle Eddie for all the support and advise you gave us when daddy was ill. Love to everyone, Colleen (Armentor)
