My condolences to the family. There are 16 years difference in our age as cousins and as a young girl, I was the flower girl at Ed and Mary's wedding. I don't remember as I was very young but every time our families would gather, Ed and Mary would remind me I was their flower girl. They always made me feel very special and they were both so sweet to me. Another special memory is Aunt Rose and Uncle Lowell were my Godparents. May the family and friends of Ed Pohlman remember special moments like this. God Bless!

Psalm 90:10 says that the days of our years are 70 years, And if because of special mightiness they are 80 years.
May the memories of the wonderful times you shared together bring a smile and joy in your heart.

I remember so many things about Uncle Ed. The first thing that comes to mind is his contagious laugh and smile. I remember him dancing at my wedding with love and laughter. I will always remember him that way.
