Woke up gazing at my beautiful painting as I do each day, but today remembering both our Eds, the joy of mixing work with pleasure, and the beauty of connecting with so many amazing people, your Ed definately one of them. I remember laughter good food and dinners talking about the lighter sides of work and play. So blessed to have known and spent time with you and Ed and have Eds memory message capturing and appreciating a woman's feelings of passion, joy, raw earthy emotion- truly a message to every moment of our beautiful lives-- love and hugs, Joanne Seniza

Dear Rosen's, I remember the times I came over to the house on Drexel Ln. and watching him paint. I have very fond memories of Ed and newer memories of seeing him in the gallery scene. I am glad to have known him.
