Dear Pat and family,
Edgar is now where he has been preaching about all these years. His energy, his love of the Lord, his love for you and the churches he served has inspired all. His ministry is second to none. So many lives changed because of who God made him to be. He never missed and opportunity to tell a joke and share a laugh. His style spoke to the heart and in his own way, he moved mountains. It has been a great blessing to call him friend. As you know this is not goodbye, its I'll see you later! Peace and Blessings to you Pat and family.

So sad to hear of the loss of this wonderful man. I met Ed in the early 90s and as his physician, treasured our bond, his trust in me and our wonderful relationship. Whenever I came to work, he was in his chair waiting for his treatment and which shout out “DOCTOR!” and I would respond “PATIENT!”. And we would both laugh. A happier, more giving and positive man has not graced this Earth!
Be at peace, my friend...you will be missed but you are on a better place.
