Edd, was surely "A special person" to us. I could still hear his Happy voice, sharing a story and his memories. We loved to see him coming down the street in his bike, or driving by and honking yelling out the window at us. Our comment was always "Good Ole Edd". You will be truely missed neighbor and friend. Thanks for the memories.

Edd,
The heavens just got a little brighter and a lot more lively. Kirby and I both enjoyed all the stories and laughs you and Jan shared with us over the years and we will most definitely miss you.

Edd,
You and Jan were my favorite customers at 5th Ave. I loved listening to you guys talk about your lives. I always thought of you guys as my non-biological grandparents. I am sure that you're at peace now.
Jan, Edd was an amazing person and he will live forever in our thoughts. He will be missed.

Edd, you will be missed and times will be difficult without you. I will celebrate and treasure all the wonderful family times we had together. I will remember your smile, your laugh and your wonderful stories. I was so happy when you and Jan decided to move to Phoenix from Oklahoma and we had the family together again. I will take good care of Jan and help with your furry and feathered "kids".
You used to say "tell the kids about me" and believe me I will make sure that future generations to come will know about you and your wonderful stories.
I know you are with our Lord and are preparing a place for us all in the future. I always thought of you as a big brother and not a brother-in-law.
Love your sister,
Jan
