I was Edwards caregiver for the last year and a half. He was quite the gentleman. He had an amazing smile and had a ton of stories to share. He loved his family more than anyone else I have known. It was a joy to work with Ed. He has a very special place in my life. He is now with his beautiful wife and brothers. Edward, you are truly missed.
