Not sure what to say?

Edmund was special! He was my mentor and introduced me to NLP and EMDR and so much more, but more than a mentor, Edmond was my dear friend. He took me to my first opera, Carmen and I became an opera addict. His zest for life, his brilliant mind, his talent on being both an one of the very best tenors in the Miami Opera and perhaps the best psychiatrist I have ever known, will never be forgotten.

I'm sorry I did not keep up with Dr. Cava. I started seeing him in 1965 or 66. I do not think I would be alive today if it were not for him. What a great man.

I just read about my dear friend and colleague Ed Cava's passing. Many a time we spent at his house in NE Miami rehearsing with Dr. Csonka. Dear Ed, may you Rest In Peace!

I just found out that Dr Cava pass away,I am sad a vary specail person, as a patient he help me to recover and supported me every step of the way. He will be missed

I was saddened to learn of Edmund's passing away. I stayed with him for several months while Doing painting at the office and his home. I recall with fond memories the hours of deep discussion the techniques of NLP. The summer I spent taping his seminars were invaluable and I learned much from you. Thank you my friend. Shalom!

Old friend and mentor, miss you grande Cava!

What I especially loved about him was his enthusiasm for even the...
