Paul and Freda lived across the street in Garnett from my folks (Don and Nadine Poss). The stories Dad used to tell about the high-jinks those men played on their wives, well let's just say it was lucky that they lived to tell the tales! Of course all 4 of them were pranksters extraordinaire to the other people in their circle. Between the beer bottles crashing when a front door was opened, short-sheeting the beds, heck a time or two beds were taken apart and set up elsewhere--not always in town!-- outhouses moved.....I can't remember them all!
I had to admire the inventiveness and creativity of their pranks.
But not only that, they were good friends helping each other through good, bad, annoying or a crisis. They maintained and nurtured that friendship to the last.
It doesn't make the pain of losing a parent any easier, but I can only imagine the reunion those four friends are having in heaven. Watch out angels, you're gonna be laughing so hard, your halos will be crooked!
My deepest sympathy for your loss.
