To Dorothy and the Meath children my sincere condolences. I just recently learned of Ed's passing. He was truly a remarkable man of great patience and compassion who always had a sparkle in his eye and kind words for all. Even though I only knew Ed for a couple of years, I will always remember him. May he rest in peace.

Ed: thank you lovely, you are an angel of mercy; I don't bend my words.

No Ed, you are the Angel. My heart is forever changed simply by being in your presence.

Prayers for peace to all who loved him. He was an absolutely delightful man and I am certain he would want you to be at peace now that he is safe at the side of God.
