Teri I just heard about Ed. I am so sorry my cousin Carole found the obituary quite by accident, please know that I always thought the world of Ed hope you and your daughter, Stephanie are doing ok I live in Palm Bay Florida under my married name Moran Bill is my husband if you would like to get in touch please feel free to call me I would love to talk to you take care my friend and family member
Ed had a great outlook despite the odds. He chose to be in life as much as possible right from the time I saw him first at rehab, and more once he got home. His determination to try was exceptional and his attitude was, for the most part one of patience. He never once swore. Once I asked him if he was having a bad day, and if he wanted me to go back home and "comeback tomorrow". NO!! I am just angry!!
I will remember one of the most rewarding occasions, while working with him...
He wanted soup, chicken noodle, I believe. I went out and looked where he told me to go,but I came back empty handed.
well, After resting a bit, he decided that he should go out and try getting into the garage. He was in a wheelchair at that point, but he was thrilled to see that between myself and a friend that we were able to arrange things so that it was possible for him to get into the Garage!! I thought, oh boy, Teri, now you're going to have trouble now. ..LOL!! He was delighted!!
At any rate, though the length of time I did spend around Ed was one of Warmth. He was always telling me "the kick of it is"..... or some story about Lacey and her dance class or the daycare she was in.... He always had something he wanted to be sure to tell you when you were around him.
God Bless you all who will hold precious memories of Ed Southern for years to come. It was a pleasure to share time with he and his family.
We always enjoyed listening to Ed's stories. He will be missed. Thoughts and prayers to you. Love, Phil & Sue
