I am so sorry for your loss. Ed and I met when I worked at the Clerks Office with his sister Marie Parker. Marie and I are good friends, and Ed fell right along in there to be a good friend also. He was always a joy to be around and is going to be missed. My prayers are with each of you. With Love, Phyllis Dodson Hairston Martinsville, VA
