Dear Gerry and Terry,
It was with sadness that I learned your mom had been overcome by cancer. My thoughts and prayers will be with you as you celebrate the life of a beautiful and elegant lady. You have lost your mother, and me, a wonderful friend. Following is part of a letter I was writing but could not finish. Perhaps by sharing it with you, Alice will also know.
Love
Eddie
Dear Alice,
… Alice, I am reminded of how you and Ken welcomed me into your family as a stranger way back in the 50’s ‘the good old days’. You were kind, gracious and considerate and you have not changed a bit in the many years that have passed. What great times we have had in so many different places. Like Calgary family gatherings, fishing in Sundry, fording the river on a fishing trip where I ripped the drain plug from the gas tank and you had to open your car doors to let the current pass under your feet, and then in Vegas with black hands from the one eyed bandits, swimming in the bay at Hannanuma Hawaii, in Houston, Lake Conroe, Galveston, San Antonio, Sequim and more. What great times and memories. I know I have forgotten many but you can add to the list, as you never forget a thing. I should also thank you again for the many breakfasts, lunches, dinners and teas you prepared- always good and serving them with a beautiful smile.
