Carol and Mike and all your children, I am so sorry for your loss. Uncle Ed was always so nice to me and I will miss him. We only had limited contact but every minute was memorable. I will never forget that we watched the moon landing at your home. Also, the times he vistited us in Grand Isle. I am betting I know he liked the horseshe will be with Ambroiseham to uncle ed and Toot in heaven and we will all be together again someday. I love him and will miss him. We need to get in touch and stay in touch. Love, Cousin Barry, wife Debbie and our girls Brigitte and Samantha. PS you now have my email. Phone 985-448-2241 email Barlandry@gmail.com

Dear Carol and Family,
May the words of the song below fill your heart with peace and comfort, knowing that God has taken Edward “Home”. May you feel God walking beside you, in front of you, behind you, and even carrying you, through the days ahead.
Do not be afraid, I am with you
I have called you each by name
Come and follow Me
I will bring you home
I love you and you are mine
God Bless,
Carol, Julie & Carrie,
I don’t believe any words are adequate during times of loss, but I want you to know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Andrea
