Dear Linda,
I was deeply saddened to hear about Ed’s passing. Knowing how hard he fought while waiting for a heart transplant makes his loss even heavier, but I will always cherish the wonderful memories and conversations
The beach just won’t be the same without him. Bane and I are going to miss his presence, laughter and the great times we all spent by the water. He was a truly fantastic man and he left a lasting mark on all of our hearts.
Please know that we are holding you in our thoughts and sending you strength during this difficult time. If you need anything at all—whether it’s a helping hand, a quiet walk along the beach with us or just a friend to listen
With deepest sympathy and love
Raymond and Bane
