Edward James Geoghegan

It is with heavy hearts that we say goodbye to Ed; but with joyful hearts that we acknowledge he suffers no more. Though Ed is no longer with us in his physical form, his spirit lives on in our hearts. Ed would not want us to suffer in grief; he expects us to celebrate his life and share our memories with one another. To laugh in the face of adversity, to find peace within, and never forget his delightful Irish wit, is to truly honor Edward Geoghegan.

Death leaves a heartache

No one can heal;

Love leaves a memory

No one can steal.
