I will always remember his laugh. We met the Haley family at church about 31 years ago. Christa and my son were very close in age and became friends. That summer, Ed and Mary Lou brought Christa to our house to visit with my children and take a walk in the then Lehigh County Game Preserve. As they were getting ready to leave, Ed said jokingly to our 110 pound Golden retriever/Lab, "Do you want to go for ice cream?" The dog walked over to the car and got in the backseat. We laugh so hard when Ed said, "I didn't think he would do that." We had to bribe Donovan with ice cream we had in the freezer to get out of the car. My family and I have many great memories. Thanks for the fun and the laughs Ed. We ask God to help everyone who knew and loved him to hold the memories clear and dear in our hearts. A lifetime goes by too quickly.
