Ed, I was sorry that I wasn't able to see you during your last days. You were a remarkable person. Before I had even really gotten to know the family Miss was helping me thru one of the hardest times in my life, when I got to really know you and Camille, it wasn't hard for me to figure out where she learned to be kind...You and Camille ALWAYS made me feel welcome, and always made me feel like a part of the family, and that meant more to me than you guys could ever know. My favorite memory of you is when Miss and I used to come and visit you guys on the weekends, and you and Miss were talking about football, and those Redskins, and Miss said, "Ed why are you talking to Lin, she likes the Cowboys" You said, "Camille honey, do we have any extra blankets, cuz Linda's gonna have to sleep out there in the driveway, I wouldn't have let you in my house if I knew you were a Cowboys fan" LOL. I loved you, and respect how you were always there for your family. I can only dream of finding someone that loves me the way that you love Camille.
