Thinking of you Marilyn on the Anniversary of Ed's passing. I know how hard it has been on you and how much you loved Ed but remember how much he loved you and still does in Heaven. He is now an Angel watching over you and will protect you from all things. May God give you the strength to carry on. I am here for you anytime you need. Your friend always.

Ed, I will always treasure our shared interest in the Summer Sunday breakfasts. Your many years of faithfully setting up the Small Hall on summer Saturdays was so typical of your quiet, loyal commitment to all of us at Grace. There was no reward, only a job faithfully done year after year.
Your service to and with the Tuesday group was in the same spirit: regular, quiet, no reminding needed, always that caring, generous gift to others.
Undergirding your service was such natural integrity, intelligence,and humor - all the hallmarks of a good friend and a good person. We all miss you and will continue to remember you with love and thanks for your friendship and all it has meant to us. Most sincerely, Libby Gerlach

Ed, It is so hard to believe that it has been a year already since you left us. We all still miss you and love you. I know you are no longer in pain and are no longer struggling to breathe and that makes it a little easier to cope with. I pray that God's blessings will be with Marilyn during this time.
Love, Pat

Especially your little buddy Trevor he is having such a hard time still about losing you! He just did an assignment in school about you! Yes we all wish you were still here with us but we are glad that you aren't suffering any more. We will always love you and miss you and think of you always. You will always be in our hearts and in out thoughts! Keep watching us and protecting us (after all you are a worry wort) don't deny it! LOL RIP Love Jen Tyler Trevor Ariel

My darling Ed,
It is closing in on one year since you have been gone. How I do miss you. Things will happen, people will say something, and I think to myself "I need to tell that to Ed" but you are not here for me to tell. The pain of your being gone is still with me. Will I ever get over the pain? I try to remember that you are in a better place now and no longer have to struggle to breathe and it helps to know that.
I love you and miss you so much.
Love,
Marilyn

Marilyn, you made Ed's last years so very happy. It was a joy to see the pleasure in his face when he looked at you. Thinking of you on this anniversary.

God looked around his Garden and found an empty place.
He then looked down upon his earth and saw your loving face.
He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest.
His Garden must be beautiful, he always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering, he knew you were in pain.
And knew that you would never get well on earth again.
He saw your path was difficult, he closed your tired eyes,
He whispered to you "Peace be Thine" and gave you wings to fly.
When we saw you sleeping so calm and free of pain,
We would not wish you back to earth to suffer once again.
You've left us precious memories, your love will be our guide,
You live on through your loved ones, you're always by our side.
It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you on the day God called you home....

WE LOVE YOU GRANDMA!

Marilyn, I know that no one can end the pain that you are feeling right now. But I can help by sharing it with you so it's not so great. I am beside you and you are in my thoughts and prayers. Remember that Ed still loves you and he will for eternity just as you will love him for eternity. I love you very much and I wish I was there with you so you could lean on me.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
