Ed, you will be missed by all. The world is definately a better place because of you. You have made your mark because of the manner in which you lived your life. A caring and giving person! If everyone had the class and demeanor that you always displayed, it would be a wonderful world. Thank you so much for helping to direct me on my journey to the East and especially for allowing me to have had you as a friend and brother.

I remember as a kid riding the bus to school. I always loved riding with Uncle ED. It's been so long ago that I last saw you. But I'll never forget how you looked sitting in that bus seat,wearing your hat and the biggest smile I've ever seen. You are now with the family you have not been with in a long time. Look after my mom when you get there. I still miss her everyday. As you will be missed here. You have only been a heart beat away. I have always loved you.
love and prayers to your family,
Lou Ann (neice)
