Not sure what to say?

Mary, I always knew Ed to be a fine man of quiet intellect who was always smiling and always interested in what everyone in the room had to share. Reading this celebration of his life, I realize how much more there was to him and how much we had in common. I had no idea he was such a leader in urban planning, which speaks to his self effacing nature. Such a lovely man will be missed by many. We are thinking of you, Mary and hope to see you soon.

From early on, always impressive, and a good friend

What a beautifully written history of Edward’s life. I remember uncle Edward as sophisticated and always interested in new things. And he was a perfect match with Mary; two thoughtful and happy people :)
