So deeply will be missed. Heartfelt to condolences to all. We will miss all the phone calls and the chef instructoons regarding Ukrainian food
We were so sorry to hear of Ed's passing. Our thoughts go out to all in his family.
Shaylene, Donna, & Family, Even when we'll not be with you today, we are thinking of you. Inez & Karlo
Ed was a beautiful man. He was a lot of fun too. He and I along with Ron were once the Outlaws in the Martin family and we had many good times together. I haven't seen him in a long time but I have never forgotten him. He was very generous and kind to me and he could always be counted on. May he rest in peace. Best wishes to all of Ed's family.
Shaylene, Donna, & Family, Thinking of you and sending our condolences. Inez & Karlo
I will miss the fellowship with Ed as Greg worked on my car. A fine gentleman and Gardner, everything so well laid out and weedless. May your ungoing journey be as structured.
So sorry for your loss. May all your fond memories and strong love carry through this difficult time. My condolences to all the family and friends.
Ed Mykytiuk family, Losing a husband/father/family member leaves such a huge hole in the family; in all your hearts. We send our heartfelt prayers to you that you remember all the great times you had together, the love that you shared, and the special man he was. He always had a hug, a warm welcome, and that great big laugh. We loved the suppers that we shared at Paradise Canyon, and the time to visited while you were camping with Ron and Twyla. We love to spend time with you just talking and laughing. You have seen these words before, but I would like to share them with you again for Ed. These short words I have taken from others but, I would like to share with you again - some I am sure have even become Hallmark moments! Some people make a difference just by being who they are, Their inner light shines bright and touches lives both near and far. And even when they're gone, they still forever play a part In the smiles, the priceless moments, that are treasured in the heart. Emily Matthews I am certain that the fun - and tragedies - you shared with your Ed will live forever in your heart. I know that there is a special place in heaven for him! I hope that you remember those times you shared, and hold those memories dear. One of the poems that helped me a lot when my mom died: If Only We Could See If only we had eyes to see when souls are passing from this life, We'd see that no one ever dies alone. The angels come to meet us as they lead us on to heaven, To the greatest kind of love we've ever known. If only we had eyes to see that all of heaven celebrates when someone comes into that holy place - We'd feel the joy the angels feel as each new soul is welcomed to eternity within the Lord's embrace. Mary Miro And last but not least, a special message that was in a card but that I hold dear: For each moment of sadness, We wish you a day of comfort; For each hour of grief, We wish you a year of peace; And for every tear, We wish you a thousand wonderful memories. May you be blessed with acceptance and peace at this time. We will say an extra prayer for all of you. I am certain that he will be happy to be healthy and pain free again. All our love Carl and Ione Skafte
