Shelley, Brad, Andrew and Hilary,

Gail and I are thinking of you at this difficult time.

We will always remember the wonderful times together in Massachusetts and during our visit to Orlando - I will especially remember our two weeks in Israel together in 1995.

May all of you be blessed with lasting memories and may Ed's soul be bound up in the bond of eternal life.
