Dear Lorna and Family,
We were sorry to read of Ed’s passing. It is so hard to lose someone you love. May your tears of sorrow soon turn to smiles of happy memories.
It doesn’t seem like long ago you were living across the street. I do think that Ed
was one of the friendliest neighbors we have ever had on the block.
You are in our thoughs and prayers. Dennis and Junieve Woods

Dear Lorna and family, Ed was a good friend of my brother, Carl Stukey. They were in the same class at Great Falls High School. I was a year younger and somehow Ed and I ended up going to a French Club costume party. He was good-natured enough to go as Dumbo and I was the mouse—Dumbo’s little friend! I remember his good sense of humor. We lost track of him after high school (as so often happens) and I was saddened to see that the world lost “another good one” when I read the Tribune at my brother’s home. May you be blessed with close and special memories. With kind thoughts and prayers for peace, Linda
