We have been close to the Staley family for years. Ed tutored me when I became a Lodge brother. He was a classmate of Polly’s. He and Gloria are special people and our hearts go out to the family at this time.
You have been gone one year. It has been difficult. Really miss having you around. Miss the fun we had.
