Many of you have shared your kind words and thoughts over the past week and I wanted to say thanks.

There were also some of you who write and wanted to know what you could do to remember Ed.

Well, he was a very private person so mostly I think you can just hold the memories close and look to his advice, postings and answers to FAQs as a way of remembering how helpful, giving and intelligent he was.

If anyone really wants to do something else we have asked friends to make contributions in his memory to the American Heart Association.

Again, thanks for your kind words. They did make a difference.
