Dear Shirley, Cheryl, Michael and the rest of the family,

It was a very nice wake and I was happy to see so many people there to pay their respects. Ed was a very jovial, personable man who is remembered by me as a kind soul. I am grateful he is at peace now celebrating a life well lived with his King in heaven forever!
Love,
Rich Huhn

Dear Shirley and family, I was sorry to hear of Ed's death. I saw some of the ladies from town, who told me about it on Monday. He was ill for a long time, and I hope he is resting peacefully now. Please accept my deepest sympathy at this time. Love, Lois Killham
