Relation: Friend and co-worker of Joyce
Dear Joyce, I was so sorry to hear of Ed’s passing.
I know he has had serious health issues for the past few years, and that he probably hadn’t been having much fun lately, but that does not diminish the great sadness loss of losing your life partner.
We are thinking about you all at this difficult time.
With much affection…. Eileen and Ken Hillyard.
