Mark and Cristina ,
As time passes, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends. You all were good neighbour's back in the late 1970's and I can remember babysitting both of you. Your father was a good person and friend, he will be missed.

The many phone calls were Ed's life line of love to all he called. I cherish the memory of my special friend through the many years at Radio Shack and all the years since.
My love to you and yours Dear Friend.

Ed was a special cousin. I sent him a birthday card in 1966, and we wrote letters and talked on the phone since. Our Grandmother asked me to send him the card as he was going overseas in the Army, and I am glad I did. I will miss him very much as our birthdays are coming soon and I will miss our phone calls. He was a good friend and cousin. Barbara Johnson
