We just received word on Ed's passing today and will remember him here with the Jesuit community at BC High at tomorrow morning's student liturgy.

We did also pass the word along to Ed's classmates with a note today and we hope that some of them will receive it, in time to attend tomorrow.

Please know the prayers of the BC High community are with Ed, his brother & classmate Richard and the entire family.
