Mary, Emil, Tammy and Owen,
My mom told me that the message I put on here just after Ed passed was not on here anymore. I don't know what happened to it but I wanted all of you to know that I had sent my condolences to all of you and that all of the memories of your dad and our family get-togethers are a very special part of my life.

My dad lived these values: honesty, integrity, kindness, friendship

His spirit endures even though he has dropped the vessels of body and mind...

As Mohammed Ali (another Parkinson's patient) says "with this illiness you learn to deal in the spiritual realm because the body and mind may not be there"
