Uncle Alden was a fine man and a great Uncle. We did have wonderful family dinners. And lots of great Easter dinners, with the wagon rides. It was Uncle Alden who taught me to shuffle cards and play card games
Will miss him greatly.
We are so sorry for the loss of a deep friend ! The Bradley families are a big part of our life for many years. John and Joyce Dillon, Jeff, & Doug. Thinking of you with sadness!
Will miss uncle Alden and will always remember the good old days and all the family get togethers of him always being so kind as to take all of us out rain or shine on his trailer for a ride around his property to look at all the cows. It was a lot of fun. He was a great great uncle!
When we saw you and Alden in Eudora it was such a nice surprise! We all got our Vaccinations and had the best visits with one another. It had been a very long time.
Alden discussed his cancer with Nick knowing Nick has cancer and had had surgery for more. This was when we all had our 2nd vaccinations.
Sending prayers and gentle hugs to each of you. Alden was a fine man, good neighbor, longtime friend to so many of our family and all your neighbors and friends throughout Douglas County. He will be missed.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth & Nick Woods
