Stella, I never got to write that last note to Ed. Your husband welcomed my son into our fellowship. He taught him that he could live a better life, then showed him exactly how that could be accomplished. Thank you for sharing him with us all. I'm praying for your peace.

Stella and family, I am so sorry for your loss. I am so sorry for our communities loss. Ed, you were The greeters Greeter. Anytime I walked up to a room or if I happen to get past you outside there you were, extending your hand and a really big hug. I learned so much from you. Another beautiful angel has been added to that big table of men and women who have gone before you. I know they too will greet you just as you greeted me the last 15 years. I love you bunches and bunches Ed. You my friend will be missed.

Ed was a good soul whom I shall miss indeed. His and Stella's example of living life on life's terms in some difficult times has been observed many times over as I have watched, prayed and learned. So very dear to me--both of you. I always smile when I think of you.
