When I was in my early twenties (1970s) my sister and Judie for an afternoon of sightseeing around Washington D.C with Aunt Ebby as our tour guide. We spent most of the time lost. Our plans changed several times as Aunt Ebby recognized landmarks and we decided to see that instead. We never did make it to the Lincoln Memorial and a few of the other original ideas. It did not matter. Aunt Ebby's laughter and optimism were infectious. I have seldom enjoyed my self more by never getting to where we had wanted to go. Where we did wind up was happy, with an ice cream, and with an unexpected pitstop which is the Jefferson Memorial. Just the pitstop in the bathrooms down below. We were unaware what was above us until we were pulling away. It didn't matter. What both Judie and I reminisce about is how much fun we had with Aunt Ebby. The destinations didn't not matter so much as the journey. Lesson learned, Aunt Ebby. Thank you.

Aunt Ebby....such a special person. That laugh, that smile, the silly voices, the (occasional) temper - I'm sure she is sorely missed by many. So many fond memories of time spent with the Lairds - Munsey Street, New Jersey, Cheverly, Dewey & Rehoboth Beach, Annapolis..... Too many to even begin to mention, though it was fun sharing some of them when we visited with you all on the Sunday before she passed away. Recent years have been tough, and her heart never stopped aching for her beloved Eddie - glad she is now at peace, comfortable, and once again with the love of her life. Our heartfelt sympathy to the whole Laird clan. Love you, Janis & crew, Linda, Michael
