To the family of Ed, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy to all of you. Although we don't understand the reasons that things happen as they do, we do realize that God had Ed's place prepared for him and he is living in his Home away from his home here on earth. I pray that you can find strength, comfort and peace during this difficult and sorrowful time.

It was a honor to know Ed. He was a good friend, and always had time to talk, when I needed advice he was there. He will be missed. We pray that Jesus comforts family and friends.
