Terri, I know you will miss Ed greatly, as we all will. So many wonderful memories. He loved to tease, but mostly he loved being with you. I know your faith is stronger than most, and while that helps, it doesn’t take away the emptiness and sorrow. Please know that all your friends are with you in thought and in prayer. Ed is much more comfortable now, and I know he will still be watching over you. Love you so much. Sherry
I’m so very sorry Terri…..he will always be near you. I so loved watching the video, what a beautiful family you have. xoxo (Thank you Ed for the endless times you fixed my machine)…
