Edward W. Rike

Betty and Ed's family,
I am so thankful to have Ed and you all as my special friends. Ed has been a particular insperation to me, as he was to Maxine. Ed's gentle spirit and quiet smile are markers for me to strive for. I am greatful for the time I had in meeting with Ed and Betty. Constancy is a halmark to strive for and I feel led by them. It would be wrong for me to honor Ed without mentioning his lifelong companion and caregiver. Thanks Betty, I attest to your patient and continous care and love for your lifelong companion. I mourn with you.

We have such good memories of Ed's quiet spirit. We know he will be missed but to glad this isn't the end. As Lynette said in her last days....the light ahead is so bright. Hugs to all of you.
