Thinking of all of you. So glad Millie and I were able to make it to Amy and Dan's wedding in October. I'll never forget how happy Ed looked and how much fun he was having out on the dance floor.

May the love and hope God promises along with prayer and support from family and friends comfort all of you during this difficult time. Cherish your many precious memories of Edward.

First non-family friend....first condolence....Cathy, Rob, Jenny, Amy, & spouses, grandchildren, Mr. Wheaton, Darcie, Bob, Jan, Jim, nephews, and Mrs. Renkert, my heart aches like only a handful of times before for your loss. We've been robbed the past five years and now unimaginably even more with the parting of Ed, but nothing compared to how the disease robbed Ed. Ed, miss you an amount so, so much more than all the decades we were best friends and partners in mischief and accomplishment. Peace, comfort, and eternal happiness to you my other "brother".
