Ellen Drake and Emily Garrett are sisters and co-compilers of Love Letters from Roy to Edie Mae, a deeply personal tribute to their parents’ enduring love story. Ellen, a retired editor and genealogist, and Emily, an educator and community volunteer, discovered the letters after their parents’ passing and were moved to share the timeless beauty of their father’s words. With warmth and devotion, they preserved a piece of family history that reflects the soul of a postwar generation. Their collaboration honors not just Roy and Edie Mae’s love, but also the lasting power of handwritten connection in a digital world.
