Bernie and Joe, my deepest condolences on your loss. Although I only met you all on one occassion that I can remember, that memory has left a lasting impression. My late father James always spoke fondly of Ed and I do feel that loss. Strange thing about family there is a strong invisible bond.

Dear Bernadette and Joseph, So sorry to hear of Ed's passing. He was a favorite and unique part of the May clan. Always lively and fun ---full of life that was a true gift. I admired his sense of family with his extended family as well as how he and you were always engaged with Joseph such as taking him to so many baseball games and about every baseball park in the majors. That's a good father. I enjoyed hearing Ed's stories when he got together with our dad, Daniel and that generation of his recollections of the Marine Corp or other younger times. I'll hold on and treasure these memories of him. You have our warmest condolences.

Jack, Karen and Alyson Moran ( of the Daniel Michigan May clan ).

Our most sincere condolences,
Rob, Judy & Kim Deptula
