To Mandy, Rixt, Femke and family,
My deepest condolences. I do feel this world is a little bit darker without Eward in it. Although I only spent a short time with him working on ferris wheels, I considered him a close friend and colleague. He had an intoxicating personality. How could you not love him. Mate, I look forward to riding a giant ferris wheel up there in the sky. May you rest in peace brother.
There are truly no words that we can say to bring you comfort, but please know that you, Rixt, Femke, and your entire family is in our thoughts and prayers.
A man with an ongoing energy has passed away. My deepest condolences to Mandy and family and to Eward his parents and family.
I wish you and your family all the strenght you need in this dark time.
“To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift .” Eward had the gift . We are all stunned by the news , but I wanted to honor him for his girls . Lead, follow or get out of the way , Eward was a leader. His experience, professionalism , and skill set earned on an international stage is unmatched globally . You will be missed
“Those we love never truly leave us. There are things that death cannot touch”
Your memory will live on through the impacts you made on so many in such a short amount of time you had on this world. I will forever cherish the memories I have of you Eward.
