ADD A MEMORY
Your loving wife Trudy Schieber

August 14, 2016

I thought of you with love today
But that is nothing new.
I thought about you yesterday
And days before that too.
I think of you in silence
I often speak your name.
All I have are memories
And your pictures in a frame.
Your memory's my keepsake
With which I'll never part.
God has you in his keeping
I have you in my heart.

You are my sunshine and my life,
Together forever side by side.
I love you with all my heart and soul Daddy!

Trush...My heart is aching for you. I'm so sorry for the loss of your best friend, soulmate, rock, and life partner. Ed was certainly one of a kind. I don't think he ever knew a stranger. I know the very 1st time I met him I felt like I'd known him all my life. He was just such a nice and genuine person. He will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him. I know your strong faith and trust in God will help you to get through this and move on with your life, knowing that someday you'll see Ed again. Plus, you'll have lots of fond memories of all of your wonderful years together, which will help you to get through. You're all in my thoughts and Prayers Comfort and Strength to get through one of the most difficult times in in your lives. I offer my deepest sympathy and condolences. Please know I'm always here for you, day or night. God Bless you, and I love you, my dear, sweet cousin. R.I.P., Big Ed. (((HUGS))) to you, Trush ❤

Trudy,
I still remember meeting "Cousin Ed" for the first time at Aunt Carlene and Uncle Snick's when all of us girls visited with Mom and Charley. I was in my early twenties and knew from the moment I met Ed and saw you two together that he was going to be a special person in all of our lives. Immediately he insisted you both take me out and show me the fun side of your town. What a great memory! Going out of his way for a young girl he just met, just to make me feel at home. While you were working, he showed us ladies the town , you both had cookouts and graciously continued to open your house to many of us over the years. My love for Texas grew so large mainly because of you and Ed. After I married Mike and we had Hope and Michael, they all grew to love you both as much as I do, through your visits and phone calls. So many times you both offered your home to us and others to just visit or even to move there. When you both visited Mike and I, we both loved seeing you two together. You definitely are soul mates, Trudy. Your deep love for each other shined through in all that you both said and did. You two were an inspiration to young couples! Although I know that "Cousin Ed" is out of pain and he is now with God. and at peace, my heart also breaks for you because I know how much you will miss him for now. I hope you find comfort ,Trudy , in the love and memories you both shared, in your faith, children, grandchildren, family, and friends through this difficult time. We feel blessed to have known this Big, Beautiful, Burly Blessing we all called "Cousin Ed". We love you so much Trudy and will be here and will keep you in our prayers. Love, Aunt Inie, Cheri, Mike, Hope, and Michael
