I remember meeting Edward at one of the picnics in Siloam Springs years ago. He was my age. Cannot be there, but may God bless and be with the family and friends in their hour of need.

I am the wife of Slown Parker who passed away 30th of July. Wayne and Slown were friends and worked for the National Guard. We have visited in your home and remember you well. He was 89 and had been ill for quite awhile. I knew and remembered you well when I read the paper. Please know that I am experiencing what you are going through and I sympathize completely. jean
