My Dad was the best father, but more than that, my friend. So happy he is now in Heaven with Jesus.

Mr. Ed, Dad, Opa:
Edward Guyer started as a step father and became a father to me. He was a remarkable Opa for my kids and set an example of faithful father, grandfather, husband, and Christian.
It didn't matter who he was with or what body part was failing, he stayed still and calm- was consistently faithful, grateful, encouraging and even humorous. He always remembered where his hope came from! May we be inspired to do the same!

Mr. Ed, Dad, Opa lived out Psalm 46:10 all the way til the end
"Be still and know that I am God"
