Dear Grace and family,
Just returned home and had voice message from friend, Bonnie Brady, that Ed had passed away. We know you have had a very trying time these last weeks and now he is at rest. We just remember how "always there" he was at Calvary and could help out in many situations, gatherings, organizing events, etc.& always with a smile or joke. He will truly be missed by many, many people and you have our heartfelt sympathy and prayers at this time of grief.

Dear Aunt Grace and Family,
Aunt Joan informed us of Uncle Eddie's death Christmas morning. Our heart's are with you. Sorry we can make the trek out there for the service. We miss you all greatly.

Love you all, Stacy, Joyce, Raymond, Jeanine and Karen

Dear Grace and family,
How full of sorrow we are. Ed's personality, so large and memorable, will always remain with us. We want to ask "why?"....and we do. In our own grief journey, we eventually came to the same conclusion that William Barclay did: "The hardest lesson of all...is to accept what one cannot understand and still say, 'God, thou art love. I will build my faith on that.' " Please know that many, many prayers are going up for all of you in this tender time. And be gentle with...

You are in my thoughts and prayers at this time of sorrow. It is a blessing to know that someday we will be reunited with those who go on ahead. Oh what joy to be in the Lord's presence. With sincere sympathy.

Dear Grace:
My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family on the loss of our dear friend Ed. May God bless your family with peace.
