Lynn,
I am very sorry to hear about Ed's death. I grew up with Ed in Cincinnati. We both attended St. Cecilia's, Purcell and we were both Evans Scholars at OSU. In fact, I think I was on a blind date as well when Ed met you.

We had many, many great times kicking around as kids and then at OSU.

God Bless you and all your family. I would love to share more of my stories with you. I now live in Greenville, SC with my wife
Carole.

Hello, I am so sorry to learn of Ed's death. I was your babysitter in Dudley, Jennifer Reardon. Something triggered a happy memory of your family, and a bit of internet search led me to this sad news. Adam and Mallory, you were my first kids. Lynne, you and Ed created such a loving home, and always treated me so warmly. I'll be thinking of you during this difficult time.

Lynn, I am so sorry for the late response to Eddie's death. Like Ed, I was a St. Cecilia guy. I also caddied at Hyde Park Country Club, but I didn't remember that Ed had gotten the Evans Scholarship. If I am remembering properly, Eddie came to one of our St. Cecilia Reunions. I always considered Eddie one of the good guys. My wife and I send our condolences to you and your family.

Dear Lynne, Adam and Mallory,

with great sadness we heard about the death of Ed. Although we only met twice , in Toledo and at Birgits wedding, I always felt like staying in touch through Birigt telling me the latest news about you. Our thoughts are with you.
Love
Katja & family

Adam, Mallory and Lynne and family,

My thoughts and prayers are with you. Ed was a fun uncle and Godfather.

Love,

To all the Blanks:
It's been quite a few years since I have had the chance to see any of you. This picture here of Ed reminds me of Pelham and the good times had there in that house for holiday gatherings with the entire Mangan family. I hope that your thoughts may be filled with all of the precious, joyful memories of life with him as you go through this time of transition now with his passing.

Love,
Paul

Dear Lynne, Adam and Mallory,
It is with great sadness that we have heard of the death of Ed. Our memories of when you lived in Dudley will always bring a smile to our faces. I am sure he will be missed by many friends and family.
