Where have the years gone?

I know that you, Geri and Edwatd miss Ed deeply. I miss seeing him on the tractor cutting the grass. I also remember when Ed held Sheri Lynn in the hospital after her birth.

Geri,
Ed loved you so, as he did his children Sheri Lynn and Edward. Ed was a quiet man, but his few words spoke much, and his presence spoke volumes.

Needless to say, we are here when you need something - you just need to call.

I shall miss seeing Ed on the tractor, cutting your lawn - and will remember him in his recliner, to name two. I met Ed 38 and you years ago when the girls were born, and I shall never forget Ed, nor you!

Ed was a rare person and though a "Quiet Man" always stood tall.
Our deepest condolences to Geri, Edward and Sheri. "To live in the hearts of those we love - is to never die".
