Jackie and Ed and Joe and I were friends at Fox Hill farm and years later Jackie and I at Maris Grove. I will miss my dear friend but look forward to meeting again in Heaven where we will continue our friendship. My love and blessings to all your family. Betty Barrett

The Shuster's - whenever you think of one of them, you automatically would include the other one. Ed and Shuster were wonderful friends. While living in Pennsylvania we were together so much square dancing and other activities too. Our dancing circle loved each other so much, we had many wonderful house parties with good food and fellowship. We always enjoyed being with the Shuster's, whatever we did with them was always fun. Our friendship club we had back in those days is just about gone. Few of us left. The reward is knowing without a doubt that all gone before them have graciously welcomed Jackie in Heaven. I remember those clown days too, they were amazing. They did the clown thing at a convention for us and they were loved tremendously. Did your Dad ever share the story about what we did to him on a bus trip? That's about the only time any of us saw him speechless. To the family, live with all the precious times with your wonderful parents. Although we never met you we heard lots about each of you. They loved you dearly.
