Edward Ross Kirk

Vicki,

I´m so sorry I was unable to attend Ed´s memorial this weekend. You and your family have been in my thoughts and prayers since I heard the news. I know our paths haven´t crossed in more time than I would care to admit, but both you and Ed made a lasting impact on my life. I was so young and you were such friends to me-taking time to spend with someone who was really just a kid, but you treated me with the kindness, joy, and love that part and parcel of who you are.

I´ve become a Broadway fan over the years and there are lines from For Good from Wicked that always make me think of you and Ed and what you mean to me.

`I've heard it said; That people come into our lives; For a reason; Bringing something we must learn; And we are led; To those who help us most to grow...So let me say before we part; So much of me; Is made of what I learned from you; You'll be with me; Like a hand print on my heart; And now whatever way our stories end; I know you have rewritten mine; By being my friend.´

Thank you for sharing your life with me in a very small way. My heart is broken for you and this incredible loss. Ed was an amazing man, and I hope that you find that the warm memories of him provide you with comfort and peace with each passing day. Patty

Vickie, I just ran across Eddie´s obituary, and my heart is saddened. I worked with Eddie at L&I back in the 70´s and he was always a bright spot in the office. Once you met him, you couldn´t help but love him. My condolences to the entire family.

Dear Vickie: We are so sad to hear of Ed´s passing. And we are so happy to have known him oh so many years ago! Memories of both of both of you still warm our hearts. Patty will be in touch. We hope to see you in July. God bless!

Vicky so sad to hear of Ed's passing. I worked with him at Labor and Industry. He always lite up the room. Working with him was a pleasure.

I will always remember how full of life he was ... how much fun he had dancing at the kids' weddings!!
