Default [OT] Letters from Pop - was: My Father-in-Law passed away

In ,
Mark Edwards purred:
In April of 2001, Pop closed his restaurant, a landmark in Oak Cliff,
Texas for fifty years. He and my mother-in-law pursued their lifelong
dream of moving to Florida for their retirement.

During that time, they discovered the joys of email, and sent mostly
weekly letters to their friends and family. I saved all his letters
over the years. In Pop's memory, I have put up a web page with his
letters. I have not corrected any spelling or grammar. There are over
200 letters:

He was a wonderful person, and will be greatly missed. Thank you to
all who sent their condolences.

Slilghtly back on topic - when Pop lived in Waxahachie, Texas, a feral
called Tiger used to come by for cat food. Pop would never admit to
liking cats, but he made sure that Tiger was fed every day precisely
at 5pm. When they moved, Tiger was adopted by a neighbor.


Hugs and Purrs,
Mark


What a wonderful way to honor his life: to share it with the world!

There are so many letters, It will take a while to read them all, I"m still
in the 2001 letters!!!!
