To all of Ed's Family especially Evan:

We don't ever know when it is time to say good-bye or if we are even promised tomorrow. But I do know that Uncle Ed loved you Evan, and you should be proud of your relationship with him. You have to hold on to the memories, and the good times. I remember going to pick up the Harley's with Uncle Ed and how happy he was to see all of you guys be happy on your bikes. He had a heart of gold. We all have had great times with Uncle Ed, we will miss him greatly. I know first hand how difficult it is to loose someone you love. It is the hardest thing you will ever have to do. But knowing who Ed was, he'd want all of his family not to be sad but to celebrate his life.... so start the party and remember he loved you all!
