Aunt Ruby, I am so sorry for your loss. I pray that the lord can bless you with some kind of peace during these dark times. I will be out of town and unable to make the funeral and this saddens my heart because I would have loved to have been able to tell him by myself. My fondest memory of Uncle Willie Edward was the time I finally got the nerve up at a family reunion to ask him why he called me Crystal instead of Kim. His reply was that when you kept me as a baby that he would come in the house and I would be standing in a play pin looking up at him with my crystal blue eyes and he says he always called me crystal from there on out. I felt then like we had a special bond between the two of us. May God bless you and your family and walk you all through this trying time.
