Remembering the family in prayer & lighting a candle

Ed was a wonderful brother and much loved. He always made me laugh until it hurt. I will truly miss him, but know that he is now free from physical pain and in the presence of Jesus. My prayers are with you, Angie.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.
