Not sure what to say?

I remember Mr. Campbell as a true gentleman, soft-spoken, devoted to his wife and children, and always, ALWAYS kind. Our prayers go out to your family!

Dear Sheila and Peggy, A gentle soul has left us to join the woman truly at the center of his heart all these years - your mother. He always inspired me with his wit and love of life. He could still beat me at tennis at 90!

I understand the transition of losing both parents as it is still quite fresh. I hope the three of you can transition together as you face the next chapter in your journeys.

with big hugs out to you both,

Love,

Mary Lynn

Edward will be missed by the Campbell family. Loved it when he sang his old Irish songs at family reunions. Gerald and Geneva always had nice things to say about him - glad they now can be all together. To Edwards family you have our deepest sympathy.

A friend, a gentleman, a hero, a religious man, kind, caring, cared for a wonderful family, veteran for our country. May the Lord hold you in his arms forever. I can still see you standing there. You will be sadly missed.

Sheila - it's August 22 and I discovered last night reading the Catholic Advance that your father passed away. Wish I had realized sooner and would have attended the services. I'm so glad I got to see both of you at St. Anthony's at Christmas Eve Mass. I know he meant the world to you and he is now smiling down on you from Heaven alongside your Mom. Keeping you in my prayers!

My Dearest Dad.......
I am missing you terribly......
Your Lil' Girl Sheila
Have you had your hug today?

On behalf of my Mom, Erma Coffey, and our entire family, please accept our deepest sympathy on the loss of your Father. My Mom has been feeling badly the past few weeks and was unable to attend Ed;s services. We had a great conversation about your Mom and Dad and times many years ago. All of you are in our thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,
Colleen Coffey Dondlinger

I had the fortune of knowing Mr. And Mrs. Edward Campbell. They were all very kind and lovely people. My heart goes out to you at this time of sorrow and may God's Grace strengthen you.

I never met Mr Cambpell but have had the fortunate luxury of flying many of the aircraft types he was involved in designing.
God Bless and my thoughts and prayers are with family and friends.
