"This one is really a blow! Big Ed was a friend who was always the same no matter what. Remembering all the good times we shared & all the laughs. One of our last conversations was you telling me that Serilda had passed and you were all alone now. I reassured you that you weren't alone and had plenty of people who loved you. I will miss seeing you my friend but take comfort in knowing that you are now at Peace and resting with the Lord! Rest well my friend until we meet again??? "
