Ms. Nancy & family -- I'm so very sorry for loss. It certainly was a privilege getting to know him. He sure knew how to brighten my day with the warmest greeting & kindest smile; I easily remember those things about him! While I'm heartbroken for your loss of a very special man, I'm relieved that he is finally free of all earthly burdens & rejoicing with the Lord in Heaven! May y'all feel God's peace & presence in the days ahead & may your most wonderful memories of Ed be kept close to your heart. My sincerest condolences --
