I will miss you dearly uncle Dudley. I always enjoyed visiting with you. Uncle dudley was one of a kind. Goodby uncle Dudley, I will always love you.
Calvin you were the last of the nine siblings to pass away. I remember that I took a bus down to visit with June and Jack in KC You had driven down to see Esta. When you were ready to go back the farm north of Grant City, you picked me up and took me back to where you lived with Grandma Laura and Kermit. I remember you always playing jokes on me and your sister , June. We always tried to get even. When you had your tonsils out you were taking lozenges to relieve you throat. It was my idea to substitute your lozenges with something we found in the barnyard Your daughters know what it was because I told them when we were a your sister June’s funeral. Nancy and Barbara, I told my neighbor last week that I would take care of her 22 month daughter and pick up her two young boys from Summer school while she went to the Doctor for a serious health issue. am sending a card to his address. cousin —Evelyn
