Poem written by family member:
MR. ED

God save us, for a short time
A wonderful - Husband, Dad and Grandpa

Your loving, caring, and friendship was
worth all the gold in the world.

God saw you setting tired and a cure
was not to be.

So he put his arms around you and whispered
"Come go with me"

With tearful eyes, we watched you and
saw you pass away and though we love you
dearly, we could not make you stay.

A golden heart stopped beating and hard
working hands were put to rest

God broke our hearts to prove he ONLY
"Takes the best"

We Love You
