Dear Nathaniel,
Edward's death is a sad event for all of us who knew him. I had great respect and affection for this lovely, dedicated, intelligent and giving man. He was a rare and fine person. I am so very grateful to have had the opportunity to know him. He will be deeply missed. I send my most sincere condolences to you.

With deepest sympathy,

We have lost a truly unique and wonderful friend. His love of life, of others and his brightness that shone on everyone will be sorely missed. I know that you will be feeling such a painful loss and void in your life. Hopefully knowing how well you cared for him and that he suffers no longer will ease that pain in time and may your life be blessed with the knowledge that you were always there for him and with him and he cherished you. Having known Edward through his years at Discovery Toys...

Edward will be terribly missed. Nathaniel, our hearts and prayers are with you in this time of grief. We will the two coming into our support group. May God be with you at this time.
Love, Gary & Michele Fanning

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,

When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.

With Love- Janice Mahlmann

Nathaniel....Edward and you meant a lot to me and my parents. You were both always "right there" when PFLAG needed something--ideas, help, or comfort to others. My mom and I are truly sorry to see Edward pass and understand the sadness you must be experiencing. Just know that he touched many, many lives and won't be forgotten for his courage.

This guest book is a wonderful idea...
And the photo of Edward in what looks like his "seafaring" days, full of life and energy, is beautiful.
Edward was a sweet, dear person; always ready to laugh and share stories. Nathaniel was so good and patient and loving with Edward, the love of his life. During the last several years as Edward's care-giver, he devoted his energies to making Edward as comfortable as possible and acted as a ferocious advocate for Edward. My heart breaks for...
