Dearest Carla: I’m heartbroken for you and your family during the loss of a wonderful husband, father and grandpa. I so enjoyed our visits and the love he had for his entire family was evident in every conversation. He truly was a man of God who lived life to the fullest. May your loving memories bring you all comfort and peace. God bless you and your whole family.

I will miss his big smile and his friendship. Until we meet again in heaven, Ed, you will truly be missed.
I am so sorry for your loss. Talk about an incredible person, and someone who exemplified Jesus’ love for others. I know how much he meant to your family, and to many others. Please know that you- Mrs. Carla, Michael, Paul, and Christina- are in mine and Ethan’s thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time.
For the privilege of knowing Ed. Beyond grateful, God allowed me to see how much he loved his wife and children, grandchildren & Church family too. I saw how Ed was devoted to his family & church. Although i only knew him for a brief period of time , but it left an impression that will last… GOD works in mysterious ways.. Thank you for always making me feel welcome, and the love of God..
