I will miss Mr. Edmeade.. I remember every time I went to see Mr. Edmeade he would pretend he did not know who I was and he would say “Oh Yeah I remember you” You are Jackie’s friend that use to be this big with his arms stretched out really wide, then I he would say now you are the girl that is this small bringing in his arms” Mr. Edmeade always showed me kindness and I will always love Mr. Edmeade for showing me kindness and understanding.
