Daddy,
First of all I love you and miss you already. I am so grateful for getting to talk to you and tell you I love you the night before your accident. I have a lot of great memories to remember you by. We always had a lot of fun jet sking, camping, fishing or just hanging out at the house. We had many late night talks about life and what you wanted for me in life, I will always hold on to all of your advice. You were a very smart man who could always tell you about something or fix anything and any conversation we had or anyone else shared with you always led to camping, fishing or one of you inventions that you had drew out on paper. You always had a new idea every time I talked to you. It hurts to have you taken away from us so soon and you being so young but God took you the way you wanted and so it must have been your time. You were with two of your best friends fishing and camping. I will miss you jumping out from behind doors always scarring me and all the silly pranks you would pull like wrapping up my old shoes and then giving them to me for Christmas as a joke. You always made sure I had a great life and had anything I needed or wanted. I know that there is plenty more to say but I would have to write a book to share it all. Please continue to watch over me, which I know you will. Tell Storm and Grandma I say hello and miss them too. I love you daddy and I will never forget you.
Love always,
Amanda

Dear Becky and Amanda:
Eddie came in to Mark's and my life when he was 3 and Sue was 4, I could not have loved them more if they were my own flesh and blood.
and Mark had a sister and a brother all to love and share fun times and sad times with.
Sue Mark and Eddie all played hockey for the "Sloan Rangers" Eddie and Mark had a paper route to pay for the ice time and skates and uniforms etc.
We would be up and out the door at 4am and drive for miles to get to a game..we have some fun stories to share when we see you.
Eddie was always full of surprises and as cute and could be.
He had a quest, and not sure where it would take him. Eddie was a great kid, and a wonderful son.
I will guess he is romping around with Gretchen, our Weimaraner.
He was involved with "DOG SCHOOL" and DOG SHOWS, He showed Gretchen, and worked very hard at it, with Eddie and his hard work with her, he acheived her title of "Companion Dog" in obedience training. He was SO Proud as was I.
Memories will be with us forever, no one can take them away, and these are the memories we would love to share with you..both .
He was my son in every sense of the word. we will love him forever.
You and Eddie, met my Husband Don when you were pregnant with Amanda,
"my Grandaughter"
Bless you both, and know you are loved by us here in Lancaster NY, and all Ed.s Aunts Uncles and Cousins
Gram and Gramp Tallman, and Gram and Grampa Schulte

Dear Rebecca & Amanda:
It took me a week to try and sum up a loss that is too deep to comprehend, Eddie was a True Brother in the fullest sense of the word and i will regret every day for the rest of my life that i did not keep a closer relationship with all of you, my true solice is that i am as sure as anything i know that "Eddie" lived more in his 46 years on this earth than most of will in a full lifetime! I plan on making up lost ground with both of you , its sad that sometimes it takes tragedy to bring people together but i would truly love to share memories of Eddie that only we shared and i am sure you both would find comforting !
Love Always
Mark Schulte

I will always have fond memories of the long summer days spent with Eddie my childhood friend. The two of us including Mark experienced some of the best times anyone could possibly imagine. Riding our bikes, running, swimming, rafting, camping, soaking up the sun, and laughing along the way. I was heart broken to hear of Eddie's passing. His spirit lives on in my wonderful memories of yesteryear. Godspeed my friend.

Dear Becky and Amanda,
I am so sorry about Ed. Still in shock, actually. We all had great times with him at Hunters Glen. Ed was always willing to go the extra mile and took great pride in his work. He would give someone the shirt off his back. He was just that kind of person. Sandy and I were talking last night and remembering the time he got sick, refused to go to the doctor, and was taking Storm's antibiotics. That was funny. But that was Ed, always doing something funny to make us laugh. He enjoyed life to the fullest and never had an unkind thing to say about anyone. May your memories comfort you in this time of loss.
Love,
Helen Lanier Strom

Rebecca and Amanda, I am still numb after receiving the shocking news from Pat about Ed's sudden passing this weekend. Please know that my heart goes out to you and all your family & friends on this sad day. Rest assured he is now in a much better place with his Lord and Savior. He loved being out on that boat with his family and friends as it gave him a place to relax. Ed was a special man indeed. Always kind, friendly, willing to take time to listen and share stories with everybody, and very conscious about doing a good job on all my requests at my place. Always willing to help and be a true friend. I will always remember all the fun times we had at the pool, the cookouts, the parties, and the fellowship. Ed always loved playing with my little puppy Mally, too. He was a good friend to me, and I will always hold him in high regard. He never met a stranger!
May the precious memories you have comfort you all in this time of grieve. He will be missed by all of us at Hunter's Glen for sure. He has fought the good fight, and is now at rest. God Bless you all. . .
With Love,
Roger
