Dearest Brendi and family, I’m so sorry about your dad. I’m praying for you all! Brendi l’ve known you for many years and I know you took wonderful care of your dad. He was so blessed to have you as a daughter. You have such a good heart Brendi! I’m praying The Lord comforts you and your family and may you continue to be comforted and blessed. ~ Love Donna,Aj and Billy’s mom.
Tom was my 2nd cousin. I remember him from when we were children and his parents and brother would often visit Putnam County Ohio, particularly the Continental, Glandorf and Leipsic areas where both his parents and mine had so many family ties among the Patterson, Recker and Edwards clans. Great fun and memories
