Miss Sylvia and family, I pray you all are comforted and continue to share wonderful memories of Ed. He was a great man and a wonderful example of a believer.
Before the memorial service I was studying the book of Philippians for an upcoming group. As I listened to the eulogies it was clear that Ed lived out themes of Philippians like being content, being a servant, and being humble. I thank the Lord for him and your family.
