You will forever have a place in my heart. The lunch times of playing and learning chess from you and your wisdom you passed on to me. You always tought me to judge a person on thier qualities not on what the looked liked. I will always miss the special time we shared togetherwhen I needed someone to talk to about business I always respected your wisdom and the kindness you gave my Aunt Emily I know she cherished it. May the Lord Embrace you as you enter his kingdom. Our prayers go out to your family and friends

Edward Abraham was my Dad need I say more My good looks, wonderful sense of humor and my ability to be very humble came directly from his DNA.

For many years, as an adult we lived together and worked together, we became best of friends.

He developed a capacity to love deeply and taught us how to listen and accept people where they were at.

A lifetime of memories I will miss him greatly, I already do!
