Donna, we loved being at your Mom and Dad's home for Dinner for 8. Your Dad was always such an easy-going and gracious host. And so interesting to talk with. We truly felt blessed with the gift of his presence in our lives. Blessings.

Ed and Virginia were one of hte 1st parishioners I met when I joined St E's in 2008. A lovely family and Ed was very welcoming and a delight to talk with. His history with engineering at MRI was fascinating.

To my dear 'Kansas City Cousins',
I am so sorry we cannot be together to mourn your dear father, whom I loved as my own. He will be missed by all of us in so many ways. So happy for his sake that his pain is over, he is with Aunt Virginia, Paul Dwight, his folks, & mine. Please keep each other close and may your memories and Jesus bring you comfort at this very sad time. My love and prayers, Erin
