To Ed and Julie's family,
Sue and I also extend our deepest sympathy for the recent loss of your father. Although I did not personally know Ed, and I consider that a loss, he must have been a very special man based on the qualities in evidence in his children. I'm sure he was proud of you all.

To Ed and Julie's Family,
We want to extend our sincere condolences in the loss of your father. We knew your father and mother as Julie was an attorney associated in the practice of law with me. Ed was an outstanding minister and highly respected in the community.
