Hi Ed! Went into a store today and heard Soulshine from the Allman brothers and immediately thought of you. I'm happy that you are happy now. No more stress. We all knew that you struggled and by all means it did not make you less of man. See you soon.

So this my love is my saddest day besides the loss of you. I remember this day 3 years ago and we had such a good time and talk. This is the last day I saw you alive... and I keep going back to see what I couldve changed. Ill never ever forget our day at East Matunuck. Miss you more than anything. You honestly were my best friend. You left me with 2 amazing kids! And I promise you that for the rest of my life that they will be my main priority! Love you forever ❤❤

My dear sweet son they say that death becomes more tolerable with time however this is not the case. I miss you more with each passing day. It seems the older I get the weaker I have become. Your smile, your hugs, your animated laughter, your music, and most of all your voice. I try to remember it and I hear the words but not the voice. I miss it so. Loving you forever and always, Ma

To All Who Knew My Son
It has taken me 93 days to muster up the courage to read all the condolences and kindness and love that was shown to my dear Eddie. Thank you. Eddie was truly born with a smile. Father Ricard asked us to use one word to describe Ed. My brother,George summed it up with "passionate". Whether it was his family, friends, pets, sunrise, water, wit, knowledge, sports, nature, projects, music, the list is endless. Ed with passion, compassion, love and optimism lived his life and I am proud of the boy and the man he was. I grieve in silence every hour of every day. It is now time for you to be at peace. There are no boundaries so fly my sweet son....fly. I love you with every breath. Mommy/Mom/Ma

When I met Eddie Q this Spring I was sick and suffering and Ed encouraged me with his kindness, wit, stories and guitar playing. He played me Dead songs and told stories of fishing his favorite beaches in RI. HIs gruff raspy voice couldn't hide the gentle, peaceful man he was. God Speed. Billy D. Billerica, MA.

Uncle Ed, words cannot express the sadness of your passing. You were an amazing father and husband. Wish I had the chance to play/sing a song with you on the guitar, you were so musically inclined. You also had an impact on many lives. Sorry for your loss Auntie Heather, Katie, Aiden, Sue. May peace replace your heartache at this difficult time. I love you all. XOXO
