Our Deepest Condolence…
“Sometimes there are no perfect words, only thoughtful silence
that whispers of caring.”
Ed was a great friend, a dear brother in Christ and with his dear wife Lois will always be remembered.
I loved my brother and one day will see him again in that wonderful place Our Saviour has gone to prepare for all those who love Him.
Blessings,
Bert & Marilyn Sansome

Sorry we cannot be witth you today as I have a surgeons appointment that I have been waiting for 1 year. I am sure that there is one large greeting commitee waiting to welcome him.

Have to say, everyone has so many great things to say, so really I would like to agree, the thing mostly is all the great Potter Family parties with all the kids, as I was the newest member with the youngest children Ed would quite often drop around with or without the kids to play with my group and chat with his younger brother or find out what was wrong with his car but we enjoyed Eds presence so many times, I am sure there will be lots of noise
for some time as they all gather up above,
see you all in the future –love shirley and all of us
