Woody Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 Ed, you are in my thoughts and prayers, get well soon my friend. Woody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Ed has taken a turn for the worse. No details, just that he sounded poorly on the phone, said he was very sick and had to leave for some type treatment. He ask to be put on the prayer list so you could keep him in your prayers. For those interested, contact me for Ed's phone number. A short (10 minute) call of a positive nature would do a lot to lift his spirits. 570-836-2526 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
az-joe Posted December 16, 2006 Author Share Posted December 16, 2006 Talked to Ed today 12/15/06 He is in good spirits. Not much Improvements if any. He sure was glad to hear from me and Jr. He got a stomach virus and says they pretty well have that under control. Is pumping antibotics in him about 8 hours a day. It sure would give the man a lift mentally if you all would give him just a little positive call or send a get well card. Please remember him in your prayers. It is so easy to give a lift to a sick person with just about 10 minutes of ones time. That isn't to much to ask is it? Joe Donathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
