    Ed was a good neighbor. We always liked seeing him out with his faithful dog and sitting in the yard with Lorraine. He sometimes stopped the car to talk to us through the window. We send our most sincere condolences to Lorraine and Anna. God bless you both.

    Having a cousin the same age as me was a treat, especially a witty, funny man with a good heart. My fondness for him will endure always. My heartfelt sympathy to Lorraine, Anna and David, may it be a comfort to you that he is now in peace. Prayers for all of you.

    Condolences to the Parks family. Our thoughts and prayers go out to your whole family. Psalms 147:3 says God, “heals the broken hearted, and binds up their wounds.” May God bring you comfort and peace.
