    Thanks Tony so much for being there for us by praying for his recovery and giving me strength to handle whatever God had in store for us. Also, we both enjoyed your visits.

Edric, it was a sincere pleasure to call you my friend. Your kind heart, quick wit, generousity and artistic talent will be missed. Rather than say goodbye, I'll say "A Hui Hou Aku" ... see you again soon. Joyce, I am so sorry for your loss. Please know that I will be there for you anytime and give my buddy Kona a big hug for me.
    Joyce Florence
    Dave, thank you. I really appreciate all of the help you gave me during these past 7-1/2 months while I spent hours at either the hospital or rehab facility because I wanted to spend as much time with Edric as possible. You have been a good friend to both of us and we love you.

Joyce - So sorry to hear this sad news. Ed was such a great guy with a positive atititude about everything and a marvelous sense of humor. I was going to start bugging him about the annual new year's dinner. I had no idea he was in the hospital or had had any sort of medical episode. If there is anything we can do for you, please let us know. We will miss him greatly. Wayne and Connie Perry
    Joyce
    Wayne, I'm sorry that I didn't reply sooner I just saw your comment. Thank you for your sympathy.
