View all 9 ReflectionsWell, Uncle Ed, it's been 60 years since you were killed. They listed your death as falling down the stairs but we always believed the prisoner pushed you, only God knows the truth. I just wanted to say I still think of you and guess we'll meet soon in Heaven. Give Aunt Marie a kiss for me.
