In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

So sorry to hear of Ed's passing, always a class act !

To the family,
Words cannot even begin to express my sorrow. Dr. Atkinson was a very special man. His example of fatherhood was exemplary! One of my fondest memories of Dr. Atkinson was when I first began my teaching career. He was so proud of me. He came and presented to my 3rd graders his career choice. My students bubbled with enthusiasm. Dr. Atkinson will be truly missed but his legacy of transforming lives will live on.

Ed and I were fraternity pledge brothers at SMU and we developed a very good friendship over the course of our time there. We were roommates for a semester in our senior year and after graduation I returned to my hometown of Galveston where Ed happened to go to medical school.

Heart felt sympathies to the family. I worked with Dr A professionally at a urology clinic. Usually I was helping him with a technical issue, or we were training the radiologists for some new process in our practice.

He was always friendly and engaging, we will miss seeing him.
Sincerest Sympathies and prayers to you, his dear family.

Such a great man who has a dear wife and family. Margaret, I am praying for God's grace to carry you through this most difficult time. Much love goes out to you and your precious family. Janie, from Dr Shipmon's office.

My heart goes out to you and your family & all friends! God bless!

Margaret, you have my deepest sympathy. In my prayers you will remain. Sincerely, your neighbor, Nancy Turner
