Edward W. Straw

Dear Ed and Family,

Although I never had the pleasure of meeting your father I gather from the other messages that appear in his guest book he must have been a very kind and special person. In time, may the healing process soften your loss and may the peace of the Lord be with you and your family always.

Your friend, Molly

My thoughts are with

Our hearts go out to the family. Barny was a wonderful neighbor. All the times spent on the porch will be remembered. The Richards family.

Approaching my fifty seventh birthday tomorrow I reflect on the Friends that I’ve made in all these years. There are a few I credit with influencing my growth from a boy into manhood. Through my Father I have known Barney Straw all my life. He and men like him have guided me through life with their wisdom, the way they conducted themselves and the organizations they supported. I have learned from Barney, cherished his friendship and enjoyed his fellowship. With the age difference we have...

I remember the days long ago. One most remembered is the "Cooties" day and the picture with my dad, 'Ernie'. He was a good friend of my parents, and my deepest sympathies to Nina and family.

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.
