Love is patient, love is kind It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 1 CORINTHIANS 13:4

Ed was a child of God, presented to the Lord in his baptism when he was two weeks old. He never wandered from that faith, but lived and died in a strong belief in his Savior, Jesus Christ. There will be a reunion in heaven, and I, for one, look forward to seeing Ed again! Let's all plan to BE THERE!
