I knew Ed through friends at church. Mom knew him as a neighbor at Eagle Crest. What a class act your dad was! He had me come to Eagle Crest to see his apartment so I could better prepare my mom for her new home. We even went out for lunch later with friends. He had a great sense of humor and made mom smile when she saw him. We are both blessed to have known your dad.
