Always remember camping and Hee Haw with Uncle Eddie! He will be greatly missed! Prayers for peace for Aunt Louise and the rest of the family.
I had the pleasure of meeting Uncle Ed for the first time at a family reunion in Warren. What I remember most was his very beautiful smile that never seemed to leave his face. He was kind and wonderful with us and I would like to send a big hug to Aunt Louise, cousins Laurie,Brenda and the entire family during this really hard and heartbreaking time.
Love,
