Edward Talbott

Edward,
Although you have gone home to be with Jesus you are greatly missed. Edward I love you very much and think of you often as always. You have endured much pain and suffering and you are one of the bravest people I have ever known. I regret you lived so far away and I was unable to see you more often. I do have sweet memories of you, which I cherish. Why this happened we cannot understand until we too come to live with Jesus and he reveals to us God’s reasons. I love you very...

My dear Edward: You have lost your battle with a horrific disease but you have reached your goal to be with JESUS! When I came to Portland to meet you as an infant-you stole my heart. You were my first grandson. You were smiling so cute and so happy it seemed like we had already met. My heart is filled with memories of your sweetness. It is very sad to know that I will never get another hug from you but I know you are in a much better place. I know you are keeping an eye on me because just...

Though I never met you in person, our conversations on the phone were beautiful! I enjoyed helping your dad prepare for your birthday including your balloons. You said you loved them and it made me wish I could be there to share it with you. I didn't know you, and I love you...your courage, your intelligence, your spirit and your grace.

My son and hero. He will travel with me always and be remembered with every gentle smile. A gamer for sure who told me he had all that he could wish for just by having his family. Challenges always brought out the best in him and now the challenge we face is finding a way to get along in life well and honor his memory.
