Dennis Ed would leave with us these words:
"...Just as soon as I can see this man, the one that set ME free, that shown Judah up that mountain, the same man from Galilee, I know he'll meet ME and I do believe he'll greet ME, look at Him with His arms wide open, waiting there to welcome ME, and I'll be RESTING EASY, RESTING EASY over on the other shore..."
