Dear Breidenstein Family,
My name is Carol age 42 and I am one of three daughters by John Blair; Edwin's brother. My mom (Bernice) told me of Edwin's passing. I am very sorry for your loss. I wonder if Edwin and my dad are together watching over us?

My tears drip down on my face. Sad and sorrow but now I know my Grandfather is in a better place and is watching over me. I feel safer than I would ever feel in a lifetime, thank you Jesus for giving me the greatest Grandfather in the whole world.

You were a man who completed all of your jobs, putting up buildings and homes through 7 decades which just totally blew people away how quick the job was done. Your passing did not have to mimic your work ethic. You knew when to praise or let people know they were in error. You taught me along with every one you met one thing or another. One thing unspoken from you, everyone in this world should have someone like you as a father. I'll miss you but I have that spiritual hope one day we'll see each other.

Dear Breidenstein Family, and Sherry, Daniel, Jackie and David, our Sympathy for Your Loss, of such a Pillar of Your Family. I read Dan's Guest Book Entry, and it reminded me of my Grandfather, he was everything to me too, he was, in many ways my Father, because I never had one. Dan, you have a Great Dad and with Jesus and David on your side, you can say "I'll never be alone". Dear Sherry, Jackie, Dan and David, my wife Marge and I, have Lost all of our Mother's and Father's and Grandma's and Grandpa's too, but that will not remove your Pain, if I could step in and remove, even one tear, I would in a heartbeat do it! Why...because Sherry, your Father taught You how to be the Loving, Caring Person that You are! Please accept the Terian Families Sympathy at this Very Difficult Time, We Love the Farrell Family, Marge, Christopher and Terry.

My Grandpa was the most amazing grandpa in the world. I'm going to miss the phone calls that always ended with "I Love You". My best childhood memories were with him. I would look forward every year to our camping trips. He was such a hard worker. He would always help when anyone needed it. Every time I go into our new Church building, I'll be able to remember all you've done for us. I feel privilaged to be able to call you Grandpa!!
God saw you were getting tired,
and a cure was not to be,
so he put his arms around you and whispered, "Come to me."
With tearful eyes we watched you,
and saw you pass away,
Although we loved you dearly,
We could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
HARD WORKING hands at rest.
God broke our hearts yo prove to is
He only takes the best.

I knew Ed a short time, yet I feel as if I've known him a lifetime. He made me feel as if I were part of the family. I will always love and miss him.

To My Grandfather,
Grandpa you have been there for me, and judged me less then any other person. You have always supported me and my decisions. Whenever i wanted to have alittle mental fight, your whit was like no other.
Today it snowed when i was at work, and you are right! It fell, so sorry i cant tell you it went it. You excepted my relationship with my girlfriend to a faster extent then any other person. Grandpa this is not a final goodbye, You are always in my heart and your legacy will live forever. Thank You for being the worlds best grandfather.
.... To Our Family,
When Jackie and I went to the VA the first time Grandpa was there, he said he was going to make a final poem as he called it, the poem to end all poems. At the end of everyline, he said it was going to say... Gee I'm a lucky guy! But Grandpa, ... Gee I'm a lucky guy to have the worlds best Grandfather! My children will know of their Great Grandfather, because you truly live up to that title.
I Love You Grandpa,
You will NEVER be forgotten,
Your Grandson,
Dan Farrell

To My Father who so fulfilled his role, as my hero, my confidant, my mentor, my guider, my constant shoulder to cry on, who selflessy gave me advise and direction. Who loved me like no other father can love a daughter. To a man who was blessed to be embrassed by so many and loved unconditionally. Who loved, guided, and taught my children so many valuable life lessons that they will never forget your memory and will carry you and your constant love forever in their hearts. I will always miss you and keep looking for you until I see you in heaven. I love you and am blessed to have had such a wonderful man in my life. Your grandchildren will miss you but I will carry on your memory and we will rejoice in all of the good times we all shared together. I love you Dad and I miss you so much it hurts more than you will ever know, I dont know what I will do with out you. I love you Dad.
