Dear Connie and family, I was so beyond sad after reading of Edward's passing. It is with a heavy heart myself and my family, sister Lisa Foley, brothers Darrell and Harold Gobel send out heart felt condolences.

So sorry for your lost of a kind, gentle, and wonderful man. Terry Foley Leppala, and siblings. Prayers to all at this difficult time.
