“I visited Ed at Longwood every other week. We had such good conversations and I know he loved the Lord. He was someone that I felt like I knew forever. We became good friends, he often talked about his daughter and grandson that he loved so much. When I found out that he passed, it felt that I had lost one of my family members. I know he is in heaven and hope to see him one day. His family is in my prayers, Mike”
