n Monday, January 11th, a husband, our brother and your good friend Edward Nelson passed away. Ed was born on August 28, 1949. He was the oldest of 6 children to Edward Owen Nelson and Helen Jean Nelson (Mummery). Ed's siblings; Barbara Freeman, David J. Nelson, Donna Anderson, Elizabeth Gumerman, and Jeanne Byrne will dearly miss him. We could not have asked for a better brother. He had a short but courageous battle with cancer. Ed showed us what tenacity is all about, how important family is, and how love can be the strongest of all virtues. He leaves behind many nieces and nephews of whom he always cared for so much for and kept in touch with.
