To my Uncle Ed and Godfather, may you rest in eternal peace with Aunt Florence. You were my last living uncle out of all of my aunts and uncles in my life and the last of the greatest generation. You are now in heaven in God's loving arms with your wife and all your other sisters and brother. Kiss everyone for me and we'll see each other again when God calls for me to be with him.
