My most sincere condolences. Bishop Salmon had a profound influence on me on terms of what it means to be an Episcopalian. He will be missed, but never forgotten. Betsy (Minnis) Hayman

When I saw Fr. Salmon recently, I told him who I was and he remembered me. I think that is a testimony to the caring person he was. Also, when I informed him of my mother's death, he said, "I wish you would have told me. She was a wonderful person". I was very touched by his kindness and his recollection of my mom. My condolences to all the Salmon family.

Ed stood by me at a very crucial time in my life. He gave me the courage to speak my truth regardless of the outcome, simply because it was the right thing to do. While the situation didn't turn out as I intended, it was the making of me, giving me a degree of personal autonomy and integrity that has stood me in good stead for the last thirty years. I will always be profoundly grateful for Ed's presence in my life.

One of my favorite memories of this gentle man is of him visiting our home during early sixties because "nobody else is still awake!" Another is being blessed to care for Louise during labor & birth of their first child. Heaven is a more welcome home with you in it, blessings to all.

Bishop Salmon was very good to my husband in his transition from the Roman Catholic priesthood to priesthood in the Episcopal Church. He was a fine leader. I imagine the funeral liturgy for him will be one for the ages. Grieve for his passing but celebrate his long and necessary life. The Rev. Dr. & Mrs. Raymond Potter, Sacramento, California

Prayers are going up for Catherine and the other members of Bishop Salmon's family at this time of loss. I know this is a loss for the Church also, as Bishop Salmon contributed so much. May his soul and the souls of all the departed through the mercy of God rest in peace.

Bishop Salmon, may you Rest in Heaven. Wonderful Man...

And Jesus said, "Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also." John 14:1-3
