I am hoping to come up for the funeral just depends on the weather.

Thanks so much! It will be good to see you if you can make it!
As a friendly neighbor I am very sorry to hear the lost of your love one. As a Bible Student I want to share with you the Bible promise hope that the dead do have as mention in 1Corinthians 15:21-23, John 5:28,29. Jim
” A time to be born and a time to die”. I believe that life as Uncle Ed knew it ( I hope I am not being too presumptuous by calling him uncle) , has been over for him for quite some time and that he is in a better place now. Along with his beautiful smile, I will always remember him as the greatest dancer…EVER! A dance with Uncle Ed and Aunt Gertie’s ham. It doesn’t get any better than that! Great memories.
Wish we could be with you, but just not possible. Raymond, Brian, Keith, Michael and your families: know that we are grieving with you.
Deepest sympathies to the Berger family, Karen Len Christmann and family
Thinking of you at this time with the loss of uncle Ed.
Mom sends her thoughts and prayers to all the family. Due to moms poor health she is not able to attend the service.
Hope you are doing ok at this sad and stressful time.
Love from Bernice Pellerin and Family
I loved my Uncle Ed. Although we saw each other infrequently because I live in Hamilton, we always had a good visit. I especially remember and cherish how he used to show me the family photos and reminisce about them.
My thoughts and prayers are with my cousins Keith, Raymond, Brien and Michael and their families.
Keith Michae and Family
So sorry to hear about that loss of your father. Though I haven’t been back to Central Butte since my mother passed away 14 years ago. I still remember my time there fondly. Your parents were special to me and I still think of them often.
Please accept my condolences.
