I love and miss you Ed. I promise you, I will help take care of Suzi. Be at peace my long time brother and friend.
R.I.P. Brother! I always hold the memories of us as “kids†and teens riding our bikes to where we shouldn’t have. The many times I stayed at your house. And the trouble we sure could give Betty! And the laughter with Schaffer. Fly high! Kiss sister and niece for me!â¤ï¸â¤ï¸
Aunt Sue, Nina and Lil Eddie. I am so sorry to hear about Uncle Ed. He was a terrific Uncle and always fun to be around. I remember when you had the Halloween party when you lived in Middletown and also the fun times we had at grandma's during the holidays. Especially when he put us on his shoulders and spun us around...lol. RIP Uncle Ed. Til we meet again. I luv you.
Blessings to Ed's family. I am very sorry for your loss. May Ed rest in eternal peace.
So sorry for your loss. I will miss him.
RIP uncle Eddie. You were truly an amazing man and I am so lucky to have been married into your wonderful family. Please look over us all. You will be truly missed bud. I will miss our talks. Thank you for everything.
I consider it a blessing that I had the opportunity to know Clayton and to hear him speak. I’m saddened to hear of his passing and for the emptiness that I know Sue and his family must feel. I’m hoping these few words from part of a bible verse gives a little comfort. “Precious in the eyes of the Lord is the death of his saintsâ€.
I appreciate the time I was able to spend helping him and the family. Thank you for allowing me to care for him. Thank you for your service, Clayton. Sending my prayers and condolences.
Prayers of comfort for family and friends
