We have precious memories of the years we worshipped with you at church. Edd always had that small grin and even when he was feeling sick he never complained. I am so glad we will be with our spouses and loved ones very soon. I am trying to recover from pneumonia myself so not sure I can come to the service. You will be in mine and mom’s prayers. May God bring you peace and comfort. I love you!

Elizabeth and Family,
I’m so sorry to hear of the passing of Edd. As you all know just how special of a man Edd has always been. Being able to be around him in my younger years hanging out at ABF with my Dad Charles, it was always such a treat when I would get to see him and chat. I still have very fond memories with us all being down at the lake and going fishing as well. It is my sincere hope that our God will wrap his loving arms around you all and give you comfort in this time of loss.
