Update #1
1 April 2020Huge gratitude from the family to everyone who has donated towards the future of Olivia and Phoebe. Your gratitude will do wonders for the girls.
It has been so heartwarming to read all your messages of support, condolences, and the stories, memories, and moments shared about our gentle giant Ed, Fei Ed, Bro, and best friend. Ed truly was best friends with everyone he met, even to those who hadn't met him in person and only knew him comms, radio, phone, or email.
A huge thank you to everyone that took time to come to Ed's send off amidst the COVID-19 situation and our sincerest and deepest apologies again to those who could not come due to the NZ Govt gathering restrictions and for those based overseas. Thank you for joining us via the live stream; we especially appreciate those who are based overseas and woke up in the wee hours of the morning to join us virtually.
Earlier this week, we were fortunate to be able to do Ed's Ash Burial amidst the current COVID-19 lock down restrictions. Ed is now laid to rest at the Purewa Cemetery's Walk of Memories. We will endeavour to organise a remembrance gathering at a later date so that everyone may visit him.
Thank you everyone for you love and kindness.
Please accept our deepest gr attitudes from the family.
