My Sweet Sister Marie,
I have stayed away for too long and now I came back to hear of Ed. My eyes are filled with tears and my heart with empathy and sadness. He was so blessed to have you as you were to have him all these years. You taught all of us to live with grace and spirit and truth. I love you dearly, my friend, and I was getting ready to call you yesterday when I fell ill.
I write this to you tonight to thank you for being in my life, to let you know how much you are loved and much Ed will be missed. I feel he is here holding my shoulder as I write, guiding me nearer the light that shines nearby. We will all see each other again someday...it is today we need to walk through, talk through, cry through.
I am overcome right now with so much emotion. I wish I was there with you to hold you and comfort you. I will call you when I stop crying.
I love you always,
Vickie
