I owe my entire business to Ed, He saw something in me that I didn't see in myself, he signed my first ever client contract that allowed me to quit my job and start consulting.  There are only a handful of people who bypass my phones do-not-disturb, and Ed is one of them. A fact that he would abuse quite regularly, to the point where my partner would hear the phone vibrating at 6am and say "is that Ed again".

He would call me to bitch and moan, or just take the piss. I keep waiting for my phone to ring with his iphone image and it doesn't come. I keep thinking he's on vacation, or "I haven't heard from Ed in a few days" then it hits me like a truck.

What an amazing life he has lived, with celebrations, dancing, partying and love. We miss you friend.. more than you can know.

My Darling Ed,

I’d like to tell you I am lost without you! It doesn’t mean you have to feel sorry for me, I will eventually catch up with my everyday life and sadly enough get used to an idea that I won’t ever receive your heartwarming daily texts again, “GM Love, Where are you, do you need help, we have a meeting, I feel neglected, call me please”, mixed with hearts and laughing emojis. But, I will never forget them. I will always be missing you, your emails, your love, your knowledge and professionalism at work, your character as an extravert, sometimes loud, but always passionate, always understanding and of course always wear your heart on your sleeve. Last time I spoke with you was January 6 of 2023. I asked you if you like to read and you said absolutely, I asked if I can recommend a book to read because I thought you will appreciate it and you said “would love to”. I gave you the name of the book, you went on line, read synopsis and replied to me “I can’t wait to read it, I’ve already ordered it”. And, I said to you “I can’t wait to talk with you about it when you will finish reading the book”. Your sudden death put an end on so many good things we shared together and you planned to do in the future. I love and miss you immensely. You left us so early, so unexpectedly and I hope you can see the love and the void you left amongst us. I know you know how much I am proud of you and all your accomplishments. You have come a long way and had so many aspirations for years ahead of you.

Love you, Ed forever!

P.S. Don’t worry Darling about Mike, we will take care of him until he will scream ‘enough”. My chicken soup and other dishes will definitely be cooked a lot.
