Cathy and Larry Roth

Diane & family,

My prayers and sympathy are with you.

I'm sorry to hear of your loss. Ed was always like a "second dad" to me when I was growing up. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. And I also remember the nylon incident in the bike shop.

McDevitt Family
Sorry to hear of Ed's passing. I'll always remember his smiling face. He had a way of joking and kidding around, that made one feel comfortable. May all your good memories and God's Blessings, take you through this difficult time.

Sharon and family:
Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

I know it's been many years but I wanted you to know that my thoughts and prayers are with you. You were there for us Dean, when our mother passed away nine years ago - I always wanted to thank you for the comfort that you brought. May you too find comfort in your loss.

McDevitt Family;
I know that Ed's memories are alive in your hearts. It was a pleasure and honor to have had him attend my wedding. Thank you Ed, for raising a wonderful family and for Colleen & Ruth Ann that have provided me with so many treasured experiences. Oh; and a son or two that like to wear nylons on their heads and scare people in the bike shop. We'll miss you Ed. Love; Cindy Nelson Brausen.
