So sorry to hear this news. Thinking of you and your whole family, Everett and Cindy. I have so many great memories of childhood with Ed and Everett - playing capture the flag in your front yard, football in Ms. Palmer´s field (whether we were supposed to or not! Ed quarterbacked, Everett was star tackle, Margie B was star receiver, and I "centered and blocked"!), performing "You´re a Good Man Charlie Brown" under Cindy´s direction and with her musical talent (Ed was Charlie Brown and killed it, as did Everett with his role as Snoopy), and many more good times on Linville Street. So sorry for your loss and know that Ed will be missed by many. Much love to all of you.
