Dear Family, Ed and I were very close while I was minister of Westminster in Spartanburg. He and Mary served the Covenant Church in Spartanburg as faithful servants. My wife and I remember them with fond affection. Our prayers are with you during this time of separation. For Ed and Mary it is a reunion in Heaven. Blessings, Bob & Geneva Pettit
