Dear, dear Nellie and Family, Know that you are in our hearts today and always, you are wonderful, and we’ll miss Ed very much. Hugs, Nancy
My sincere and heartfelt condolences to Nellie and Ed’s family. Before I came to the Wallingford YMCA, Ed and Nellie were there and were always such caring and warm people. I always looked forward to a few nice words whenever I saw Ed. I will miss him. Pam
Dear Nellie, Eddie, Janice, Dennis, and Timmy, I/we are so sorry for your loss. Uncle Eddie was the .Rock. in the Bevins Clan! His famous sayings, .listen my friend,. .listen folks,. just to name a few bring a smile to my face remembering his gruff voice! Uncle Eddie experienced alot of heartache in his life, with the passing of Aunt Sylvia, Aunt Lynn, Christopher, our dad & his parents, but through it all he was the strong one that we could all look to for support. He was one great guy, with the zest for life that the Irish are proud of! The attitude of .pick yourself up, dust yourself off & move on. was most definitely his example to me in life. I will miss his notes at Christmas time, but I know he is in good company in Heaven!! My thoughts & prayers will be with you all in the days & months ahead. Mary Theresa
