Dear Dekat Family. I am truly sorry for your loss. I did not know Ed but did go to school with Terry, Danny and Peggy. I had the pleasure of meeting and visiting with Brian a few months ago. He is a very pleasant young man and spoke very highly of Ed. Know that he is with the Lord and at peace. With sympathy and prayers to all of you.
