It was my pleasure to be a friend of Ed and Diane and see the love shared by them. Ed lived the dream, his stunning and loving wife, his loving family, his job, his beautiful home up-north, his hunting, and many friends. I pray all the memories of the good things will bring peace and comfort through God during this time of sorrow. Ed will be missed but not forgotten.
