Because of Ed and Anne's steadfast Christian example, I am a better man, husband, father, and grandfather. For the past 30 years, it has been an honor to call them "my adopted parents" as they took us in when we moved here and they have always been there for us in our times of need. I look forward to seeing Ed again on the other side and, Anne, please know we will always be there for you when you need us. Continued prayers for the days ahead!
