My dear Miriam and family. . .how saddened I was to hear of Ed's passing during Mass on Sunday, 19 July. How thankful I am that Ed was a part of my life, my sparring partner, my beloved friend. My deepest sympathy and tears of joy for a life well lived. There is no doubt Ed heard, "well done my good and faithful servant" and I will always remember placing JHS upon his forehead. Forever in my heart, thoughts, and prayers -
