I so sorry for your loss. I knew Ed for a brief time at Golden Living (ACU), where my mom is. I really enjoyed talking with him. Every conversation included how vey much he loved his wife. It was evident that he was a devoted husband; a very caring man and I am glad that our paths crossed even though it was not under the best circumstances. May you wrap yourself up in those dear sweet memories and know that he is always and will be forever with you. He is part of the tapestry of your lives.
So very sorry to hear of Mr. Sweet’s passing. Our deepest sympathy to the Sweet family from our family
The Trisket’s
Gregg, Gary, Gayle and Ronda
So sorry to hear about Ed’s passing. We are remembering so many times of playing cribbage on a back porch in Warren, so many years ago. Condolences to the entire family.
Condolences to the Sweet family. Throw all your burdens on God in prayer now and in the days ahead, and the Bible promises that you will receive “the peace of God.” Philippians 4:6 & 7. Our prayers are with you.
My deepest sympathy to you, Carroll, and your family……of course I never knew your husband, but I certainly remember you as a school mate many years ago …Warren High, remember? I still get the Warren paper, but I live in Falconer. My daughter is an RN at Golden Living. May God give you comfort and peace in the days ahead.
We are sorry to hear of Ed’s passing. He was my best friend in the Navy when we both served, and kept up correspondence all of these years. We will miss him very much. Our prayers go out to his family and know he will be in a better place. He was a great guy.
