In Loving Memory
Aunt Terry and Cousin Paul, you are always in our thoughts and prayers. Seth and I will miss Uncle Ed very much right along with you. I wish we all could be there for you, but know that our hearts and thoughts are there with you. I will always remember the blonde jokes, the goofing around, his great love of life, and so much more. We love you both always.

My Love to you and Paul, Aunt Terry. You are in my thoughts and prayers. He will be missed here greatly. What I remember most is our camping trip when the puppies came and when we were shooting pine cones from the trees, his silly blonde jokes and hugs. I am sorry I can not be there. I love you.

Terry and the whole Bishop family, I am so sorry for your loss, it has been such a long journey for Ed and for you. It has changed your life in ways you never thought it would. God Bless you in the coming months and Terry, I know Ed would want you to go on and enjoy what life has to offer. I ask God to give you peace in the coming months.
