Dear Jessica and Ed's Family,
I was deeply saddened to hear of Ed's passing. He often came to my home as a friend of my son, Ken. And Jess, I knew you from Little Angels. Losing someone close to you is very hard. Lean on your friends and family for support for grieving for a loved one and healing takes time. I personally know that loss is difficult.

To the Kelley family,
I am so sorry to hear about Ed's passing. We played Football, Basketball and Baseball together at Tyngsboro High. He was a good friend and a funny happy go lucky guy. He always had a smile and that wise-guy laugh. My deepest sympathies to his family and friends.

I cannot imagine what you are going through, Jess. I've know Ed for a long time, but because of distance, I didn't know him that well. I do know that he loved you very much, and because of that, we loved him. I can still hear him say "Hey, AC". My prayers are with you and, of course, my love.

To They Kelley Family and His Fiance,

I am truley saddened to hear of Ed's passing. I went to school with him and graduated with him in Tyngsboro. In the fourth grade we sat next to each other and had contests to see who could hold our breath the longest and I am pretty sure I gave him as well as Kenny Chartier the chicken pox :o)

I have great memories of him and he was always such a great person. He will be missed terribly and I hope you can find comfort in the fond memories that we all have of him.

My deepest condolences,

Lisa Carpentier

I have many memories of growing up with Eddie. I know a lot of our childhood was spent together. I think about all those summer days when we were little that we spent at the "cottage". I know in my heart you are in a better place. You had a tough battle. Memere, "Diamond Lil" as Eddie called her, was up there waiting for him, to play cards no doubt! You are all in my heart as you try to come to grips with this. I will miss Eddie deeply.
