Ed
Been over a year now. I miss you and wish I could of done more to help. Sandi told me this site is going down tomorrow so I thought I'd write you before it did. Remember Uptown, we were young and full of life. Being the police on Wilson Ave. We had lots of fun and your name comes up all the time when I start telling war stories.
Things are good by me, Patti and Caitlin are doing well. My baby is 10 now and not a baby anymore. I remember how you showed up at the hospital on...

Good bye, Ed..........until we meet again. I'll always carry your spirit within my heart. I'll never forget the love we shared. May God bless you, always.

Happy Thanksgiving, Ed. Remember that photo of me with the bird and the kids ? It looked like I was petting the bird ?

I was doing well for awhile, not feeling guilty. Then last night I was overwhelmed with guilt. I'm so sorry I couldn't be there for Christmas, Ed. I wanted to come out and asked you to buy me a ticket for months. Then you called on the 17th and asked me to come. I just stated worked after being unemployed for a year. I had told my boss I would be available the Friday after Thanksgiving and Xmas. I was afraid to change my plans. Now, I keep asking myslf, would you still be here, if I had come...

Yes, Ed truly was a hero to handle all the adversity he faced during his life, and thanks, Sandy, for keeping his memory alive!

Did I ever tell you you're my hero ?
Everything I am, I am because of you.
You're the wind beneath my wings.
I miss you.

Somedays it's easy and somedays it's hard. I'm learning to live without you. I hope you hear me, when I talk to you. You will always be my guiding light.

Like Babe Ruth said:
You can't beat a man who won't
give up.

I will always hear your strong, supportive voice cheering me on as I was handed my AS at Truman, ED. You taught me that only an individual's mind limits them and their ability to conquer anything. I will always Love you.
