We go to the grave of a friend saying, "A man is dead,"
but Angels throng about him saying, "A man is born."
~ Henry Ward Beecher
.. and thus they have another born.
Deepest condolences to the family.

So saddened to say goodbye to such a great man, but my step-dad Ed is finally at peace after his battle with cancer. It's not easy stepping up as a stepparent, but he did it to a heard of adults and still made all of myself and my siblings feel loved as if he was there with us our entire childhood, extending his love to all of our children too. I am glad my kids had such a loving grandfather as Ed. Our entire family is heartbroken over this loss. We love you and miss you already. Rest in Peace Ed. Xoxo
