    Ed,

    I will miss your big
    kind smile, your positive energy as well as your professionalism. Thank you for always checking on me. You knew when I had a question before I could figure out what to ask. It’ s been very difficult Coming to work since you left us. Though each day is getting a little easier ,it will never be the same as when you were here. My heart aches for your family and my prayer is that God will give them all the comfort that only HE can give during this difficult time. Heaven has ushered in an unmatchable Angel. While you were outstanding on this side of heaven it only makes sense that you continue to be outstanding there. Rest well my friend until we meet again.

    Love,

    Janice

    You were an amazing friend and I feel blessed to meet you way back in high school. We’ve kept in touch and you helped me hook up my first adult apartment at Hampton University. You were one of the most loyal, kind and patient people I’ve ever known. Anyone that could call you friend has been blessed above measure. Your faith grew as you aged and I marveled at all that God had done in your life. You have a truly beautiful family. I’m so grateful you had them. You deserved the joy of family life more than many of us. I know as a believer that earthly sorrow is no match for your heavenly reward. We are left behind but you are with the Lord. So through tears I rejoice in the name of Jesus Christ our Savior. You ran the race and deserve this rest. We will love you always.
