I just heard this heartbreaking news today. I first met Ed and Shirlyn at a dinner party. They had just married. My husband, Randy and I were so fond of both Ed and Shirlyn. I shall never forget Ed coming out to Randy's retirement party after searching everywhere in Chicago for a shirt with epaulets to wear. Sending a million hugs. Cathy Bowles

Our deepest condolences on the passing of Ed and Shirlyn. We were shocked and deeply saddened to see the notice in the local paper. I ha done legal work for them in Montana , they visited Gini's gallery and frame shop, and we had dinner a couple of times. They were wonderful people and will be missed here.

All of us who knew Ed and Shirlyn through our share group, the BMC, loved and were so proud to know them both.
They always added to our meeting both socially as well as Ed always having some great ideas that we could take back to our markets.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.
We will always hold our memories of them both close to our hearts.

I had the privilege to work with Ed and Shirlyn building many of their websites including the Cherry Cello site, Ramrock Orchard and Chocolate Wildlife site. They were a wonderful couple and I enjoyed knowing and working with them. I am so sorry for the families loss. They will be missed.
My parents, Don and Mary Patterson live on the East Lake Shore of Flathead Lake and were also friends of Ed and Shirlyn and my Sister, Dana Marchetti was partial owner of Whistling Andy Distillery where they sold the Cherry Cello product.

My sincere condolences to the family for this tragic loss.
I am sorry that I won't be able to attend the services.
I always enjoyed talking to Shirlyn when we met on our morning walks and I loved talking to Ed about deer hunting.
I will miss my neighbors, may they rest in peace!

Dear Sarah, Eddie and loved ones. I was greatly saddened to have heard of your families loss.
I saw your mother just a few weeks ago and did all the things mothers do who are catching up with news. She was so proud of you both. Every time I'd see her in town it was the same. Your mom was one of the kindest most genuine people I've ever known. I could not ever have envisioned your parents apart.
God bless you both.

My sincere condolences to the family for this great loss. I regret not being able to attend the services. I knew Ed for many years, and although we may have been competitors in business, I always considered Ed a friend and a man of high standards. May he and Shirlyn rest in peace.
