Dear Maggie & Family,
I was sorry to hear about Ed but I also know you are thankful, as I was, for no more pain and suffering. It's hard to believe Kenneth died a year ago on December 3 but I know heaven is a sweeter place with these two wonderful men. My thoughts and prayers will continue for all of you in the days ahead.

Maggie & Family
I remember you & Ed at my Mom's Memorial Service last March. It meant so much to me.
My brother, Mike, kept me informed & I spoke with Ed a couple times on the phone. He had such a Christian Testimony!!! Praise God!!! He is with his Heavenly Father & no more pain, etc. This is not easy for you as I know.
I wish I could be there for you but will in thoughts & prayers.
Love to all, NancyLynne Miller

Maggie,
I have always considered it a blessing to have moved in beside you guys years ago, and then to fellowship with you at Lakewood. Ed always brought a smile to my face and still does as I think of him.
It's hard to let go, but Ed is truly home now. And to know he is with Natalie, what joy! God will bring comfort to you and much joy through your sadness. This I know. I love you guys.

Mr. Ed as I called him was one of my best friends and will be truly missed. I know that he is in Heaven now and looking down and smiling on us as we continue to miss him. Ed and I have had many wonderful memories together and they are ingrained in my heart forever. You were one of the finest Christian men I knew.

Maggie, David, Traci, Marty & family,
I am so sorry for your loss of Ed. I know these past months have been rough for you all and my thoughts and prayers have been with you daily. My Dad also passed away on December 8th, three years ago. He also was a Gideon so I can imagine him and Ed having conversations in heaven. My thoughts and prayers will be with you in the coming days as this time of year is a hard time to lose one that we love so dearly. We love you. Johnny & Doris Woodie
