Dear Betsy and Boys:
I still remember Ed at Christian Center and his work with "MOVE". His loving attitude and extreme integrity will not be matched this side of Heaven. Ed always had a smile and encouraging word for me and my family. I remember him directing the boys group on Wednesday evenings when they built dog houses in my garage. Ed leaves a big hole to fill. Betsy, I am keeping you in my prayers. I am so sorry you lost your life mate, he was such a good guy. I can see him working...
