To Zena and family
My heart is heavy knowing I was unable to say my goodbye to Ed.
Whenever I called the house and Ed answered, he would say want to speak to my beautiful bride. I'll never forget Ed nor will my family.

Dear Zena, Ed, Karen, Liz, Mark, Mary & Dave:
Although I am out in CA, I feel as though I am with you at this time. Big Ed was a treasure of a man who always made me feel welcome and eventually, loved. He had a heart of gold and will be missed. (Although Hazel & Irv will be very glad to see him!)
All my love,
Lisa

Goodbye Mr Merullo!!

You may not realize it, but you were a very important part of my life first as a Father in how I benefited in knowing all your wonderful children, then as an example for me as to how to be a great Dad and Husband and as a wonderful lifelong friend to my Parents. I know it has been a long time and now I am far away in Texas, but I have thought of you often and prayed for you and all your family and friends much lately.

My best memories are of your wonderful smile, Tennyson Road Reunions and seeing you at all of my families important events.

Love

PJ

Dear Aunty Zena,

I’m so deeply sorry to hear of the passing of Uncle Ed. I will always cherish my memories of the time spent with you, Uncle Ed and your family.

My hope is that he has joined my Dad and that they are sharing a glass or two of Scotch and catching up on baseball stats and their families.

Love to All,

Lynda
