Dear LaManque Family,
I am sorry that Ed suffered with physical illness for so many years and then died at a young age, leaving you without the joy of his continued presence. Though I never had the pleasure to personally meet him, I know that he must have been a loving, hard-working, and handsome man, with a great sense of humor, to have been picked by my friend, Sheila, as a life partner. May his positive influences live on in all of you to honor his memory and make you grateful for the years that you spent with each other. Thanks for sharing him with me through Sheila (and Facebook!) and may God comfort you in the coming months and years as he will surely be missed. I love you, Sheila, and send hugs of caring and a prayer for continued resilience.
Joy Thorp
