I am so very sorry, Kathy, and family for your loss. As you know I lost my husband, Jeff just 5 months ago , and Ed sent my such a lovely note. Ed and I go way back to Jr. College and then on to U of M. We were great friends and continued to keep intouch all these years. If you need to talk please let me know.
