    I have so many fond memories of Aaron and Louise from childhood, and again when we reconnected thru Holiday Ramblers. We shared genealogy information on the Ostler family. They attended my wedding and our 25th wedding anniversary, and we attended Aaron’s funeral.
    With love and prayers, Robert Lyle and Marilyn Ann Denman Eaton
