I will miss you my friend, Ed and I met at the VA. I thank you for your service to our country. You will always be remembered and I will cherish the friendship we had together. I enjoyed our lunches together and phone calls. You lived a life that was full and adventurous and I am honored to have been a small part of all the people you have touched while you were on this earth.
The Celebration of your Life by Jodi L. Daly
We are here to celebrate your life
And the measure of its worth
And every single life you touched
While you were on this earth.
We wish to pay our last respects.
That's why we are all here,
To thank you for your friendship
And all the memories we hold dear.
It's been a privilege to have known you.
We were family, not just friends,
And we will carry you in spirit
Until we meet up once again.
I Love you Ed, thank you for being in my life.
