Rest Edwin, until you hear at dawn, the low, clear reveille of God. Thank you for your service to this nation.
Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
My prayers are with Dorothy and her family, Ed was a blessing to know and live beside. I first met the Orloskes at Dellrose UMC, and renewed our friendship at Rose Hill UMC. Ed has been faithful in so many ways through his years, and I am sure he is organizing and cheering on folks in heaven today. May God bless you all, with the joy of knowing Ed is where his faith has been leading him and others all his life. You are all in my prayers.
