Uncle Ed,

What a wonderful man you were and always will be, we will greatly miss you. Nothing can ever replace your stories of great times with Flossie and your family, my parents and family, and just stories of your life. Those are memories that will never fade. How I wish you had met Zoey. I can't wait to tell her all about you. Say hi to my mom for me. We are thinking of you and Flossie. We shall meet again someday.
Love,
Bill, Tricia and Zoey
