In Loving Memory of Ed

Thanksgiving 2007 our house!!


Ed was a wonderful man who my family met when they first moved to Florida. Ed and Carol lived in the house next door to the house my parents were renting while they were waiting to move into their house. Over the years, we have all became really close. My dad and brother golf with Ed and Carol whenever they could. Ed and Carol became part of our family. Carol works with Bob too! Last year, Ed was diagnosed with Esophagus Cancer. He surpassed all the odds, and survived the cancer. The cancer was gone, and he was able to celebrate Thanksgiving at our house! It was so nice to see Ed smiling and happy that he had overcome the odds. He did though, have a long journey ahead of him. The cancer had damaged his esophagus, so in order for him to be able to keep food down, he had to have surgery. He went in for surgery in February, and they nicked his lung. Since then, he hasn't been able to breath on his own. On Tuesday, July 8, 2008, Ed went to be with the Lord. I know he is golfing like crazy now! I can just picture him going from golf course to golf course. He sure did love golf! Ed was a great man, who cared so much for Carol. He is going to be missed greatly! I love you Ed...we will miss you forever! Say hi to my Grandpa!!!
