I met Ed by pure accident on my ham radio. (I live in Ohio) After that 1st meeting, we found out it wasn't an accident at all. For the next 4 years, we had weekly radio contacts, with many emails in between. (and even some phone calls) We shared heartaches and prayer requests regularly. I knew about all of his family from Missouri, Arizona, Idaho, and Montana. I prayed for you all, too, as I do now. He was so proud of you all! I came to love him as a brother in Christ, and his passing has left a hole in my heart, as I know it has to you all. But, what a glorious Savior we serve that gives us the hope of salvation, and we will join us together again.
May God grant you all the "Peace that passes all understanding" to get you through this time.
