RIP Ed.
Very Brave story.

RIP Ed, We were all touched by your journey.

RIP. The pain has ended.

RIP

You can't enjoy the good times if you don't feel the bad times. This thread hurts my physical body but spiritually I know that there is no beginning or end. He will just be posting on a message board that we can't see. I think he says that his back feels better and he is glad that this whole process is over.

I find myself at times thinking of Ed which is odd, because we never met. It takes a rare person to have an impact on total strangers without a real platform to do it. Just by sharing so much of himself and his journey with us he has had a positive effect on many of us here. How many of us will leave that type of legacy without compromising who we are or what we believe? Honestly, what more could a person hope to leave behind? Well done Ed.

I was greatly encouraged by Ed's messages recently about his talks with his pastor and the joy and purpose he'd found in Christ, and that Ed felt he was living out that purpose in his final weeks. To me this has both a tinge of sadness and of joy, because Ed is free from the cancer that had ravaged him for so long, more free than he has ever been. For that I think we can all be proud to have known him.

RIP brother -- you will be missed

Ed, congratulations on a life well done!!!

Night Ed.

Rest easy

RIP to a great one.

RIP Friend. Had a huge impact when he didn't have to.

Also, could somebody rename the thread? I mean, it's not exactly good news at this point.

Actually , the Good News is that he's no longer suffering.

Very sad news. It hurts when such a quality person gets taken too soon. Best wishes to his family and all of his friends. You will be missed.
