Friendship can often be so quiet. Almost a secret. Eds friendship wasnt quiet to us. He and my dear Dad were best mates from a young age. It was such a kind and loving friendship that it continued for 70 years. Its an example that I will never forget in my own friendships. My father and my mother maintain lifelong friendships. Its what keeps us sharing, and happy and much more. Ed was our quiet, consistent and faithful friend. I wont long forget how much he loved us in his life. So much care went into his words. Love you dear friend. Katie and Reef xx
