We are so sorry Ed was so sick this year. He was very brave and strong throughout his treatments. Many times he still kept up his sense of humor despite the pain. He was so appreciative of all the loving care from my Mother and all the doctors and staff at the Tate Center. He will be sincerely missed by Bob and I and we wish to extend our love and sympathy to all the family.
With Love,
Bob and Felicia
