“Ed”, He called you by name; today you are in the exact place He wants you to be. "In Death there is Life".
"For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself. For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord; whether we live therefore, or die, we are the LORD's"... Romans 14:7-8
“We do not lose the ones we love; they only go before where there is everlasting life, where sorrow is no more. There the soul will always live, and peace is everywhere—we do not lose the ones we love, God takes them into his care”.
Brenda and Family -- In your hours of Loneliness just remember He said ~~
"I will not leave you comfortless; I will come to you"... John 14:18

What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget. We Love You. Rest/Eternally in Peace

I grew up with Ed and went all through school with him. We were part of the "New Windsor Gang". We rode our bikes all over town and bought Penny Candy at Roop's Grocery. I remember Ed as a nice kid and in later years, a nice guy. I know he will be missed by many. My deepest sympathy to his family.

Brenda...I can't begin to express my sorrow at this time. Rd and I have been friends since I moved to New Windsor in 1966. Not only was he a classmate but a true gentleman. He will be missed.
