Marcia and I send our prayers and sympathy to Ed and Karen's family. We're sorry we were not able to attend the funeral, but we were there in spirit and love. Hopefully it won't be too long before we can visit again and share our memories. Ed's family and mine were neighbors, schoolmates, and longtime acquaintances...and then Ed married my cousin Karen. So we have shared our lives in many ways over three quarters of a century.
