Dear Nancy & Family. I had forgotten your connection to Sue & Ed O'Brien. Had visited Mrs. Edsall on Washington St., w/Sue many moons ago. A heritage to be proud of for sure and I wish to express my heartfelt sympathy to you and your family. Your Mom was always cool to be around in the long gone years of our childhood. XOXO Jennifer & Gary Baragar

Our parents were very dear friends of Earl and Marge. Our mother had recently talked with Marge and was very saddened to hear of her best friend's passing. We have very fond memories of Earl and Marge and the entire Wheeler family. God bless all of you during this time!

I have fond memories of my great Aunt Marge! And I love the picture. It is sad to know my grandpa's sib's has transitioned but here's to hoping they are yucking it up in heaven. What a great and accomplished group those four were. Maureen (O'Brien) Busalacchi - granddaugther of Jim Edsall
