To the Provost Family,

Please accept our most heartfelt sympathies for your loss. May your heart and soul find peace and comfort.

We did not know Ed, but he is part of our A.G.O. Family. We found out about Ed from his half sisters, who would also like to contact the family.

We have added Ed's name to our "Memorial Quilt" and our "A.G.O. Military" links on our Alumni Website. Please feel free to visit our site at: http://angelguardianorphanage.com/

I am also Edward's half sister, daughter of Edward Raymond Provost and his second wife, Marie Smith Provost. Darlene forwarded the obituary to me, and I was saddened to know that we will never meet. My heartfelt sympathies to Ed's family and friends. He must have been a stand-up guy. If any family member would like to contact me, please do so. I'd like to know more about Ed and Jim.
