Still miss you

I still miss the joy you brought to each day. The fun conversations we had commuting to Gardner Webb were always punctuated by your charismatic way of living life fully. Thank you isn’t enough, never will be.

Brave Soldier

I can't believe it's been 55 years. You are so loved & honored. We were little cousins in the 50s & 60s. We played in the woods & creeks. My children know more about you than some of our other cousins. I still miss you to the day & pray for your everlasting peace in heaven. We will meet again.

A wonderful interview with Ed's brother

A brothers love is not destroyed by the horrors of war. The emotional hurricane and immense grief that comes when a man's brother is killed in war may never retire, but the everlasting memories of a life lived and lost will never be forgotten.

75

Dear Ed, my 1st cousin, along with all our many other, we kids grew up together. So many memories I have of you & Larry & all the fun we had. You'd be 75 this year but your face never changes in my dreams. You're always young. Always loved. The whole town shut down the day of your funeral. I still have the letters you sent me. You are still so missed. Your sacrifice was so amazing. You are still very much, my hero. Love M.L.H.
