Edi, Nancy and Thomas, I know what a huge loss this has been for you...a long marriage and a wonderful father. My only condolences would be that he is at Peace and in the Loving arms of God. He will never leave you and will always love you.
Edi, I miss talking to you. Maybe when things settle down you´ll contact me.
You´re all in my prayers.

Oh my dear Edi, my heart bleeds for you. It´s absolutely devastating to loose a spouse, I lose Al in January 2003. I am so sorry I never had the chance to meet Billie, but you talked about him often.
You worked with me at ParTime temporary help service in 1969-1971. You were my "rock" as I know you were with Billie. Please get in touch with me. I care for you and your family. Meh God fill your heart with kindness
