Dear Lois and Family,
We were sorry to learn of Ed's death from Mary Symens. We remember all the times the eight of us got together for pizza or whatever. I also remember the night Ed got his Mustang stuck at our house and I had to bring it to Hansell the next day.
Our prayers go out to you and yours. We are living in Fargo, ND now to be close to Heather and Chris and their two boys, Elijah 4 and Ezra 2. God bless you in this time of your loss.
