So sorry to hear of Eddie's passing. My fondest memory of him in high school was in a class that we had together and we talked most of the time...but we did pass the class somehow!

My husband, Bob, was also a classmate. I lost Bob on July 8th last month so I know the sorrow that is in your hearts at this time.

My deepest sympathy to you and your family.

So sorry to hear of about Eddie. I have wonderful memories of spending time in the swing set at his folks house in the summer while he and Linda watched all of us play. I always enjoyed when he and his family would come back to Centerton for a visit. I enjoyed hearing the stories that he and my older brother would tell about growing up in Centerton and attending church at FBC Centerton. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Love,

Tammy Dorcas

Monday, July 28, 2014

Linda and family,
My heart is so saddened by Ed’s loss. Although I did not get to know him for as long as most of the Dorcas clan, knowing Ed was loving Ed. He had such an amazing gift of making those he was around feel like family. Our family has such fond memories of the time he came to NC for a visit - never a dull moment. What an amazing spirit – thankful for the promise that we will meet again in heaven!

Dear Shawn and family, I lost my Dad fifty years ago, and can remember, so vividly, the hole it left in my heart. As evidenced by all the testimonies given in this guestbook, your dad was a kind and loving Christian man. We can see the fruits of his labor in you and the great work you do for our church. May God fill the hole in your heart with His "Peace beyond all understanding" and the "Blessed Assurance" that you will see him again someday. Know that we love you and your family. Gene and Linda

Linda,Shawn,Lori,
My prayers are with all of you and your families. Ed was always so special to me and I always thought of him with a smile on my face because of some of his sweet antics. Like the time he told me what a good auctioneer he was "I even sold a stump that was still in the ground" he told me. Ed was a wonderful friend.

Ecclesiastes declares there is nothing new under the sun, so you've heard it all by now. But my heart goes out to one beautiful family - Linda, Lori, Shawn and the rest of the flock. Ed was a special friend who lifted me every time we met. And our last meeting, a really good one, was at Bethlehem Homecoming in June. I long for the day when we all meet with our cherished loved ones in Glory. God bless you during this time.

The world has lost one of the finest men I've ever known. I will miss his laughter and always positive mind set! Linda, I'm so very sorry for your tremendous loss. You are in my prayers and thoughts. Please know I'm here if you need anything! Love you my friend!

Eric N Glover

Monday, July 28, 2014

Linda, Lori and Shawn (and families): I can't say anything that hasn't already been said. Ed was one fine role model to me during my time at K-C. I'm a better man because of the time he put into my character. Rev. 21:4 "And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away." Love to you all, Eric

Linda, Lori & Shawn -
I was so devastated to hear of your incredible loss. My prayers are with you all during this time & in the days & months ahead. Hold your memories close, and the Good Lord closer.
Ed was an amazing man, husband, & father. I remember all the great times at your home while growing up. He was always there with fun & quick wit, but a steady hand of reprimand if we tried to do something out of line. I will miss his greeting that I always loved to hear..."Hey, Kid! How're you doing?" R.I.P., Ed. You are loved and will be greatly missed.

Vic & Edie McMillan

Monday, July 28, 2014

We never have so many friends we can afford to lose even one. But to lose a best friend of 63 years, really hurts. In time the hurt will go away and be replaced by only fond and happy memories. Vic

Sadly, I didn't get to spend much time with Eddie, but my first and lasting opinion of him was that he was a sweet kind soul, genuine through and through. I enjoy hearing Vic tell of the times he and Eddie shared just being boys doing things ornery growing boys do. They also shared a moment in history when, as members of the National Guard, they were part of the patrol at the school in Little Rock when the school was integrated, and they saw the threatening crowds.

They shared life over 63 years. Not many people get to experience lasting friendships like that.

What a gift Eddie was to all fortunate enough to have known him. Edie

To the Family,
There are no words to describe the emptiness we will all feel with Mr. Ed's passing. He was always enjoyable to be around, whether it was in the store, at a ballgame, or an auction. He always had a joke or a smile on his face.

My prayers are with his family during this time and may God put his loving arms around you and give you comfort. God Bless All of You

Brenda Champlin Yarbrough

Linda & family,
I am so sorry to read of Mr. Ed's passing, but we all know he is at home in heaven of which he often sang about to others. Mr. Ed was so good to work with us on the auction of my dad, James Champlin's, earthly possessions, He helped set us at ease at one of the most stressful times in mine and Mom's life. I remember he used to lead singing at our church and was married to Ms. Linda Lou, of which I thought was just the most wonderful thing! I will be praying for strength and peace for each of you as you say goodbye to Mr. Ed, but I know we will see him again one day when we all get to heaven! God bless and keep you all in His hands. Love, Brenda Champlin Yarbrough and Mrs. Mary Champlin

Christy Beene

Sunday, July 27, 2014

My thoughts and prayers are with The family. I have so many memories of Mr. Ed. He nicknamed my mom "Beener" and me "Beener 2". That name has stuck with me :-). I always enjoyed his story and joke telling. Many many laughs. I always loved him.
God has gained an awesome angel.
May God wrap His loving arms around the family and comfort them.

What joy you must have in the midst of your grief, knowing that he is in the presence of our Lord. I am sure he would tell you, "Please do not weep for me.
