Ed know that I speak for Mary, Christine, and Phil in saying you will be truly missed. Thank you for sharing your humor, care and comments all these years at St. Brendan's House. We will miss all the parties you "thought up" all the time. Your positive outlook on aging was a help to many a neighbor who was complaining and crying about the process. Your "It happens to us all and there isn't a darn thing to stop it." usually shut them up. Thanks! We love and miss you. Love Teddy Moeser
