A Christmas to remember!
Uncle Ed had an infectious smile, he loved to dance and sing and was always the life of the party. I wish our little Madison was able to get to know the wonderful you Uncle Ed, but I know you will be watching her dance recitals just like you did mine, just from another view.
Only the good die young... Rest Easy Uncle Ed❤️
Thank you for thinking of me and for tracking me down (near Philadelphia). I was Eddie's pastor at St. Paul's in Hancock for eleven years.
I am so grateful for that friendship, for Eddie's prayerful presence, tremendous love and joy. His smile and marvelous laughter which dispelled negativity.
What an example to all of us! Do send my love (my warmest hug) to Eddie's Mother. The depth of love for her son quieted my own moody complaints.
I will be so mindful of your family these next days through Eddie's funeral.
With a blessing,
Father Stephen Morris
Ben and Michelle
A bear hug from Concetta and Matt.
Love you Ed!
