To the Berube family - our deepest sympathies to you all.
I thank him for the gift of smiles, as every time I would and do think of Uncle Ed - it puts a smile on my face. A few years ago we were able to visit and he and your Mom spoiled our kids so much that they remember the visit to this day.
May God be with you,

Jim JR. & Family, My deepest sympathy to you and your Mom. I enjoyed the years your Dad worked for us delivering flowers. Not only was he always happy, but the ultimate gentleman. When he retired he always came by to say hello when in the area. He always talked with such pride of Doris and the children, and the grandchildren. May the memories out weigh the sorrow.
