To the Schumacher family,May Shoeeee's spirit sore above you and keep watch over your family. Shoeeee was a great friend. I and my family will miss him very much also. Ed was my best friend, the only person I ever considered to hold that place in my life. May he find himself among family and friends such as he has here, in the after life.

Jeanette and family, Our very sincere condolences to all of you. Daniel called us to let us know about Edward's passing. Susie (Pete's daughter) sent us the obituary from which I found this e-mail address. I wondered how we could get a sympathy card out to you, not knowing your address. We are thinking and praying for you and hope that God will bless all of you at this time and always! Love and Prayers, Dick and Ann

I don't know you or your father personally, only through the EBL forum but I too lost my father several years ago and know that it's a painful experience. The one thing that really helped me through it was that I know that my father was a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ and I know that he was now in a better place. From what I've read you and your father are also believers so take comfort in knowing that he is now with our Lord and that he is very happy so be happy for him. I pray that knowing this will help you through this time.May the Lord bless and keep you....Rick
