Dear Carmen,
Very sorry to hear about passing of your beloved husband Dr. Ed Freeman. You and your dear family will be in my thoughts and prayers while you are going through this difficult time of your life. Your husband has accomplished a lot; he has been in service to humanity during his time in this world. God bless his soul. I pray for the elevation and progress of his soul in all the realms of God, and also for patience and strength for you going through the grief of losing him. God Bless, Hoori
I was saddened to learn of Ed’s passing. Ed led my team for several years at NWEA. While Ed probably would not have classified me as one of his easiest coworkers to lead, he was a man of immense personal integrity who constantly worked to bring people together and work across differences. While it is challenging for me to live up to his personal example, he was and remains an inspiration and challenge to me today.
I am very sorry for your family’s loss and hope you find some comfort in the positive impact Ed has had on so many of the lives he touched.
I worked with Ed at DPS. He was one of the nicest and honorable leaders I’ve ever met. He knew how to listen and he cared about people. Ed introduced me to Indian cuisine and we shared several lunches as A Taste of India restaurant near the district office. I send my sincere condolences. May he rest in heavenly peace.
