I worked with Edd at DHS. Edd was always smiling and a smart alec and I enjoyed our long talks. The best quality he had was his compassion for others. He was one of the first in line when it came to giving when collections were being taken at the job. He was a cheery fellow and an all around great guy! God have you in his glory Edd. My prayers go out to the Sawicki family during this most difficult time.
“Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. And you know the way to where I am going.” John 14:1-4
