My thoughts and prayers are with you. Ed was a wonderful man who will be missed. There are no words that make sense at this time, but know you are in my heart. He is now dancing in Heaven with my Ashley. Love you

Please know that our hearts are full of sorrow and that we feel your pain. Ed was a great guy, hard working, loving husband and father. I only wish we would have had more time to spend with you two, but God had different plans. Bonnie you and your family will continue to be in our prayers for comfort and strength during these difficult days. Ed is now in that place called Sweet Beulah Land, no more pain, no more sorrow, no more hurt, only ever lasting peace and happiness. Rest in peace Ed.

We have known Ed for many years. He was a loving husband, father, and grandfather. He was a wonderful loving and very caring person. Heaven will be enriched by his presence. We know you are no longer in pain and are probably dancing on the streets of gold with Terry, PJ, Danny, Cecil, Jack, and many others who have gone to their heavenly home.
We pray God be with all the family and friends. We love you,
