This community lost a caring compassionate spirit here on earth but the Heavens gained a wonderful soul. Ed was my counselor and although he hid his own health issues from his clients he always showed passion and concern for us and our everyday issues in life. His demeanor was always so laid back and relaxed for this I truely admire for he was dealing wih his own health issues yet remained loyal to all of us up to the very end. I thank you Ed for knowing that u were genuine and truely cared and didnt treat us as failed members of society due to our mistakes and bad choices. May you find peace and comfort and pure joy and beautiful fish ponds in the Heavens above. Hopefully Kim will continue to carry on your desire to help others. These lessons in life only make us more compassionate towards others. I know I will support her in whatever she chooses to do. I will continue to pray that our Lord surrounds your family with his gracs and mercy, comfort and peace and the faith to believe they will see you again in eternity. Rest in peace, my brother in Christ, you have earned your wings. Kathryn, the shy one in group LOL

Please accept my condolences. Even though I never met Ed, I only heard good things about him. Ed and Kim both counseled my brother during a very difficult time for our family, through a drug addiction. I would like to say thank you to both Ed and Kim for giving me my brother back. Ed was a godsend to us in a time of despair, (my brother angel). Please accept my condolences I am truly sorry for loss.
