To my Daddy,
Words cannot express how devastated I’m feeling. You were and will always be my protector, my #1, my hero, and now one of my guardian angels. I was never going to be ready for the day God called you home and I never will be ready for it. I promise Daddy I will try to be strong. I’m a big daddy’s girl and your little girl. Our relationship was super strong and I thank God for that. I love you Daddy! I know I will see you again. Your resting in peace and have a beautiful place in heaven.
My thoughts and prayers are with Ed’s family. He was a good man who enjoyed life and was a very kind person. He will be missed by many!
I’m sorry to hear that Ed passed away. He was always so friendly. I was their neighbor growing up. (Hanson’s). Hugs to Marilyn and their daughter.

Ed, you are my big brother, We are very sad for your passing. You will be very much missed. I enjoyed a lot of fun things with you, even with you being my big brother you involved me in a lot of activities. You pulled us on the snowmobile with the toboggan, you swung me on the big rope swing and made me laugh until I wet my pants :) You took me to the snowmobile races with you. You and Marilyn took us to the lake and we had a blast and laughed so hard! I had fun sneaking up on you while you were in the basement doing taxidermy and you would always hear me and catch me :) I loved you as my big brother! I will surely miss you. Rest in peace big brother, Love you forever!!
