Oh my....so many fond memories of my Uncle (cousin) Edward. He is older than my father Rex and we were always taught to call him Uncle. He was such a fun man and so whimsical. I loved when he would come to our house and rub his whiskers on our faces and while we were in Mayfield he would dunk our heads in the stream that ran in front of The Willden house. Thank you Aunt Connie for being so good to my parents, Rex and Kay Willden. Our family truly adores you and your family and we feel blessed that you are part of our lives. Uncle Ed is in a great place - probably riding in a limo down the Golden Streets of Heaven waving to God and the Angels as he passes by.

To Connie and family,
I send our condolences at this sad time for you. Ed has been the greatest neighbor. He has helped me numerous times. Let's just say I know little about lawn mowers besides making them go and putting gas and oil in them. Ed was a Godsend. He sharpened my blade and changed the oil in my mower. I was so grateful to him.
He was always out puttering in his yard and he made sure it was always looking just so. I am sure that you will take comfort in the conviction that Ed is free of the bodily discomforts that afflicted him and that he will be waiting on the other side. God bless and keep you,
Marlene, Amanda and Alex Richards
