My condolences to Mr. Aarstad's Family,

May happy memories sustain the family and bring some comfort to your heart.

He is healing the broken-hearted ones, and is binding up their painful spots.(Psalms 147:3)

It's sad when you think of how we all drift apart but I believe it's the beautiful memories we all carry with us. I consider myself so very fortunate in that I grew up among a great family of Uncles, Aunts and Cousins. I will forever remember the beautiful times I shared with all on Seminary Ave. and to this day will always remember the beautiful voice of my Aunt Else and that fantastic smile of my Uncle Ed. I was lucky to have him as my Godfather but blessed in so many ways just having him in my life for so many years. It warms my heart to believe he is now with his family, his beautiful wife Else, his sisters and parents. Someday hopefully we will all be together again, I love you Uncle Ed.

Memories of Edgar go back to some wonderful days at Eleanor and Willards home at Christmas. I looked forward to visiting everyone at that time and remember Edgar and Else enjoying these fun times with the family. I see Edgar relaxing in another beautiful place where he will continue to guide others...Larry Forgard
