The world got a little dimmer yesterday as we laid to rest my Grandad Ed. He was a man of faith, integrity and honor, serving his country as a Paratrooper in WWII and his God in both his job as a preacher and in his daily life.
I couldn't have asked for a better example of a life of faith and service. His devotion to my grandmother and our family was unmatched. He truly was one of a kind.
We knew he wouldn't live for ever, but we sure wish he could have.
Grandad Ed, we rejoice knowing that you're in Heaven, but we sure will miss you.

Mer--what a sweet tribute to your Grandad. He sounds like a wonderful man. Love you!!!
Meredith, I'm so sorry to hear about your Grandad. I will keep you and your family in my prayers. It's so wonderful that we both had such wonderful men for grandfathers!
Meredith, Cortney told me about your Grandad & I am so sorry. I too had such a wonderful christian Poppa growing up. He's been gone for many years & I still miss him. I wish my girls had gotten to know him. But, I also know he is in a better place and watches over us daily. Becky
Hey Meredith. I'm so sorry to hear about this...we'll be saying a special prayer for your family. We love you guys.
Hi Meredith,
I just wanted to say that Nathan and I are so sorry about your grandfather.
I hope that I'll get to meet you soon now that you live so close to the Haines. Rachel E. and I were just talking about all the crazy connections between our four families yesterday.
