Joe and family, we are very sorry for the loss of your husband, and father. Our condolences go out to you. We've been neighbors since '92 and we will miss Ed greatly. I will miss seeing him out in the backyard listening to the Cubs games in the spring and summer. I will have to find another way to get the score. I had a great time sitting with him a couple of years ago looking at his scrap book when he used to play ball. That will always stay in my memory.
Stay strong and you will be in our prayers. Sergio Valdez & family.

Dear Debbie and Brian, (Mrs. Waytula, and Family),
I am so sorry to hear of your father's passing. It is hard to enjoy life without someone you love. But if we remember that he is in glory above with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, perhaps that will ease the emptiness, and memories will fill the void in your heart.
Our deepest sympathy,
Helen, Kent, and Anna Bjorklund

My papa fought long and hard and was in lots of pain and now he's finally in a happier better place. He was a great man who I will miss every day. I will never forget how he was always yelling at the tv when the Bears or Cubs were losing or made a bad play. We would always talk about the games on the phone or when we saw each other. He could make us all laugh with his jokes and my brother and cousins won't forget their secret handshake. Papa I love you so much.

Dear Cousin Jo and Family,
Cousin Ed will be greatly missed by so many who knew him and enoyed his warmth and wonderful sense of family. Although we're glad he is out of pain after fighting each battle so hard, and at peace with God, Waytula gatherings will be missing something without him. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Love,

April 25, 2010

Mrs. Waytula, Debbie and family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Mr. Waytula fought hard for
a long time. I hope knowing that he is a peace helps in your sorrows at this time. I know you will miss him, but just think - no more doctors, needles or pain. Take care of each other.
Love,
Corinne Jordan
