Ed was my boss at Rite Aid. But we formed a bond that was more meaningful than stocking coolers, and checking out customers. Ed believed in me, and always encouraged me to be my best self. Even when he was unable to come in to work anymore he kept in contact, and actually got me a promotion. He was an incredible person, and I still think of him often. Sending love & prayers to the Collins´.
