My deepest sympathy for your loss. I'll always remember Uncle Ed from the trip you all made to Omaha when we were kids. Even though we didn't live close I feel like I've lost a part of my security. My thoughts and prayers are with all.

I'm very sorry to hear of Mr. McQuaid's passing. I have memories of both Bobbie and Ed when I was a kid, especially visiting during 4th of July celebrations and during events at Ascension Church. Ed was such a kind and gentle man. I know that both my parents were very fond of both Bobbie and Ed. I hope you can find peace and remember all the wonderful times you had with Ed. Know that many have good memories of Ed.

I am so sorry for the loss of Mr. McQuaid. I feel blessed to have known him and to have socialized with him on several occasions. He was such a pleasure to be around. He was so intelligent, funny and very kind. Your family is in my family prayers.
