Dear Marianne & Michael - With deepest sympathy, I share these words inspired by the words of the poet, Sharon Valleau: Imagine that the brilliant stars of a clear crisp night are windows looking out from beyond our earth-bound reality. At the very moment when you are wishing on those stars, hoping that Ed is safe, and free...he is looking back from the other side, making the same wish for you--sending you all his love. May the painful void in your heart soon be filled and comforted by a lifetime of warm memories and the feeling that you'll always be connected to his love.
