I want to wish blessings to Edward´s family. I know it´s been over 20 years but we never forget our loved ones. I just watched the Dr. G episode about Edward´s death which was very sad. He was a good young man. I agree with Rosa that God has a purpose in everything. I hope she has realized this purpose. God Bless
