Selma and family,
So very sorry to hear about Ed's passing. Even though we haven't seen each other in a long while, I've often thought about you and Ed and the rest of what remains of the Svetkey family. My thoughts and sympathies are with you and your entire family at this time.

Dear Cousins, I am so very sorry to hear of Ed's passing. I was 26 yrs younger then Ed but remember him fondly. We all lived on Crowell St in Dorchester. When I was a little girl he would take me to see the ducks and for rides in his car. I will never forget his laughter or the joy he would express when talking about his beautiful family.
