Lucy and Family-
Im so saddened to hear of the loss of your wonderful husband, father and grandfather, Ed. Living next door to my mother, Edla, for a number of years was such a blessing to our family. Ed was larger than life and I have such fond memories of visiting with you both out in the driveway each time I was in town to visit mom. Such great conversation about a multitude of topics! The one constant was that there was no doubt how much Ed loved and cherished his family – Lucy, the kids and the arrival of each new grandchild. What great memories of a special man! Im painfully aware of the hole his passing leaves and send you long distance love as you all navigate through this difficult time together.
Lucy, I was so saddened to hear of Eds passing. My heart goes out to you. I loved spending time with you & Ed in Downs when I was a young girl, and when you both visited my parents in Wichita. Hope you find comfort and solace with your family in the wonderful memories you all have of Ed. May God bless you and your family – with caring thoughts,
