To all the family of Ed,
I am so sorry to hear of Ed’s passing. I remember him well from the store and him coming in to the Bolton Post Office to say hello to us. I ran into Ed again at a Christmas memorial held by The Egan Funeral Home about 4 years ago and he hadn’t changed. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

After fifty years of being a family member you will be sadly missed by your chosen family. The memories shared at the lake, in Bolton, and our trip to Florida with June will be cherished. Until we meet again, God bless you and keep you.
P.S. Say hello to Uncle Ernie for me.

Gramps,
1 month ago today we lost you. I have finally been able to come and write a message to you! You are missed more than any words can ever express. My life is not the same without you. Thank you for allowing me to take care of you for the last 5 years. It was one of the most rewarding times in my life.
I miss you like crazy. My heart is sad at the loss of you but I also smile and cherish the memories. I know you are in heaven with Nan and my mom and Tinker and I’m sure you are all having a great time. I’ve no doubt you are enjoying an endless amt of Lemon Meringue pie, Mars bars, donuts or any other treat your heart desires.
Most importantly I know you will always be watching over me. Miss you sweet angel.
Private Edward Walter Tyrrell, your tour of duty is now complete. You have earned your angel wings. Heaven needed a hero and you answered the call.
You are always and forever in my heart.
Love you tons Gramps! ❤️

If anyone is willing to share some family tree info on Edward Tyrrell I would be very appreciative. He is my grandmothers father, and she never really knew him. Please feel free to contact me at tomjaje@icloud,com. I am trying to get some info to give to my Grandmother who is very interested in learning anything about the family. Thank You.
Condolences to the family.
