Dear Hershey Cousins,

You are now facing the second and last death of your dear mother - the first being when her mind failed from her illness. This death now ushers her into the everlasting arms of Jesus and Uncle Robert, her husband.

I am sorry not to be able to be together with cousins at this funeral service for Aunt Eva, but my husband and I are in Florida for a few more weeks. May you have a grand reunion and reminisce about Aunt Eva - such a friendly gentle aunt who knew how to make GREAT food - I loved her soups!

My husband Jim and I send our sympathy to you as a family.

Since I will not be able to be at my Aunt Eva's funeral service, I want to send my condolences. Your Mother's hospitality was so appreciated when I was a young boy and invited to live on a "real farm" for a week. I so enjoyed the experience and felt much love. I even saw the birth of a calf delivered by your Father. Memories of your Mothers tasty meals at reunions was always enjoyed. I hope all of my Hershey Cousins feel the Peace from God and realize the Love from your wonderful parents. Sorry for your loss, but move forward with a smile. Sincerely, your cousin Ed Huddle
