Dear Terry,Angie,Eddie,and Pat
It is with sadness that I have learned through Mary,the passing of Uncle Ed.
I have many fond memories of Ed in days gone by,and from stories told to me by my mother Kathleen and father Earl when Ed lived within the Merrimen house befor going overseas to fight in WW2.
I know that Ed has gone home to the Father and is at home with his God.
May Ed rest in the Peace of the Risen Lord Jesus Christ until you all meet him again in the Final Happy Resurrection.
You can be assured of my continued prayers for Ed and for you all as you go through this most difficult time.
Love Ted,Barb and Kyle
