Gail and Janet my deepest condolences to you and your family. Uncle Bill will be missed by many. Rest assured he is with Aunt Ester Mary and the rest of the family being greeted with open arms.
Ed was remarkably talented in many ways: poetry, painting, friendship, faith, health tips, kindness. His inner light shone for all who were fortunate enough to know him.
Gayle, our deepest sympathy to you and your family at the passing of you dad. He will be remembered for his kindness and love he showed to me and my family. He lead a remarkable life and his faithfulness in God was a guiding light to all who knew him. We know you will miss him greatly but he left you with so many beautiful memories.
