I along with your entire Delaware Military Academy family, send our condolences and extend our sincere sympathy on the passing of Edward. Losing a husband,father,patriarch, and role model is heart wrenching, and I can empathize with you, having lost both my father and mother last year. We can take comfort in the fact that those whom we hold dear never truly leave us, because they live on in our memories and experiences, and in the love that they have brought into our lives. Mere words, although compassionate and gentle, cannot lessen your loss, but we pray that the heartfelt expression of our sentiments will ease your sorrow and empathize that your many friends understand and care. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this time of sorrow. May God bless you and give you strength.
