Dear Melissa & Family,

I was saddened to learn of Ed's passing and convey my heartfelt sympathies. Ed was a trustworthy colleague with a wonderful dry wit, a serious thinker and a great understanding of all things legal. I will always remember his joyful spirit at Lehigh's 100th anniversary celebration! It was a pleasure to have worked with him. May God bless and comfort all of you during this difficult time. Cherish the memories!

Dear Paul,
Now is that time in our journey when some of us must deal with the loss of a parent and it is heart breaking. My thoughts and prayers are with you today and for the days ahead. May your faith in God and the eternal love you have for your father sees you through. May your family cling to God, to the Faith, and to each other and come to that point where you smile at a lifetime of wonderful memories... and may we all see each other again one day. God Bless all of you, my deepest sympathy.
