Thoughts and prayers

Dear Ed and Family, I worked for you at First Union and remember when "little" Ed was born. We so so excited for you. I was heartbroken when I heard about his passing but I know that you were so proud of him. May God surround you and your family with comfort. Sincerely, Timmie

your son was a very brave man may his soul rest in peace

As I remember the fallen of Cop Keating, I also remember that you were there too and fought for our nations freedom. We will never forget you and your family.

Rest In Sweet Peace

I just wanted to tell you how very sorry I am for your loss. Our son was @ Cop Keating May 09 until the battle on Oct 3rd. I was looking at pictures through mutual friends on facebook and saw pictures of your son Ed and saw that he was injured and then read a post by Dannelly that he had passed away. His life and how he chose to live it is a testiment to the kind of man he was. He honored his family, his country and God. We will never forget his sacrifice. He is a TRUE AMERICAN HERO. God...

Written by Edward "Ed" Wesley Faulkner Jr. on September 11, 2001. He wrote this in his English class at Western Alamance High School. He was 18 years old.

I was in class this morning,
Looking at the clock
Wishing time would go fast.

Then I got the news.
Teacher turns on the television,
A tragic sight,
The whole nation was at fright.

Oh yes, there will be a fight.
America will have complete victory,
For we know what is...

So my Ed, my son. I can only picture what JOY you have experienced since entering the presence of the Lord. A man of God who may not have spent many years on this earth, but neither did Jesus. My Ed died young but the life he lived over the last few years took a real man to live it. The sheer glory of feeling the presence of the ONE who paid the ultimate sacrifice for all of us and have HIM embrace you Ed and speak the words YOU ARE SAFE NOW, YOU ARE HOME, YOU CAN REST."

To God...

Rest easy, Ed.
I'll always remember the good times that we had on the golf course and the family beach trips.
You'll always be a hero to the family and especially to Lauren.

We love you and miss you.

You were and still are a great brother and I want you to know that you have accomplished enough for two lifetimes! You served our country so bravely and now you can rest. I am so sad that you and I can't grow old together and share our earthly memories together however, I know that you are in heaven watching over Lauren and I. Lauren misses you deeply and she has laid on your grave and cried for you. Your big Sis used to watch over you and now its your turn to watch over me! I love you...
