Merlin said to young King Arthur, "The best thing
for being sad is to learn something new." (E. B. White)

Ed had always encouraged me to learn new things, to stretch my mind.  And when I got my first computer from Mark, a Commodore 64, I really had to study to learn how to make it work.  Later I bought a new Compaq, and with Fauve Matisse art program, learned to use this medium for my art, using my mouse as a brush.

It was arduous at first, but so exciting that I could hardly wait to start in the morning, and would kiss it goodnight at midnight.  In the mirror is Ed's spirit, encouraging me still.

In the years of my widowhood, Ed has become more and more a part of my very self, a companion and a champion, urging me ever onward.  How grateful I am for his preparation for care in my old age!
