Dear Mr. Ebli-
Thank you so much for travelling to Ohio this past Thanksgiving. Thank you for being the kind of friend who does not shy away from a friend who is ill. Thank you for coming and doing all the cooking on Thanksgiving. Thank you for coming despite the fact I'd been up all night hurling. Thank God it was food poisoning and not the flu so you and your family did not get ill. Thank you for reminding me of your great gift of simple joy. You were simply the most joy filled person I've ever known. You enjoyed and shared simple fun with us.- Great conversation, stringing popcorn and cranberries, purusing recipes, pictures, reminiscing, laughter, games, good food, singing, a love for nature and animals. I have always appreciated your love for your wife and children. Your love was steadfast and it bore many things. I was glad to hear the story of how your family started. I will miss you when I get to the farm, but I know that your legacy and your influence will linger just like an oriental iris' scent even after one walks away from it. I will see you and Beauregard when I get to heaven (and I hope that is later than sooner). See you on the other side. Enjoy as you enter into Christ's rest.
