Not sure what to say?

Dear Norma: As I sit here I think about all of the wonderful times you and Ed shared with my Mom. All the laughs, the parties and just being such good friends. Let's remember the great East/West Football Games too! You and the girls are in my thoughts and prayers. I'm sure my Mom is serving Ed a hamburger and fries right now.
With my love, Nina Fenell (Santa Rosa, CA)

Though I only met Ed a couple of times, I felt that I knew him well through his daughter Laura. I knew of his love of card playing with his grandaughters and heard about his golf games with Paul DeNatale. I know he must have been proud that Laura shared his passion for dentistry, fed no doubt from the times she spent at his dental lab as a child. Thank you for helping us get to know a very special man. I know you will miss him very much.

Laura and family- Our deepest condolences and prayers to all of you. May your dads memories live forever.
