In Loving Memory
To Addie and the rest of Ed's family we send our love and condolances to all of you. We are sure that losing him has left another hole in the Salt Lake Valley, bigger than the Great Salt Lake. The picture of him holding his new grandson, with a smile as wide as the prairie, will always be with us. Our best wishes to all of you with the hope that your faith is comforting you as well as the knowledge that he is at peace in a better place.

Life is so precious and all too soon it can slip away, but thanks to God through Christ we have a wonderful hope for the future. "The hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear the voice of Christ and come out." John 5:28,29 Acts 24:15 Yes, you will see your loved ones again because Christ will journey there to awaken them from sleep. John 11:1-44) And the life to be enjoyed when this takes place is almost to wonderful to contemplate. Revelation 21:3,4 Psalms 37:11,29 Micah 4:4 etc...

I had not had contact with my father in 20 years or so. He ran off and left us (myself, Tracy, and his wife Rita) in 1990 as my mother was dying of cancer. My anger and resentment has kept me from reaching out to him all these years. I just found this obituary online and I have many mixed emotions. After my mother died I was in a very dark place in my life and made some big mistakes that have put me in a compromising legal position for these last 15 years. This has forced me to have no contact with any family or relative, lest I put them at risk as well. I am now married and am making plans to clear my legal problems and had hoped to confront Edward after doing so in an attempt to understand why he left us. I regret never having the chance now. Maybe I will find some answers in his books and writings, which I hope to read someday.
