Ed Nelson was a one-of-kind man and will certainly be missed. I will always remember how much he loved his Barbara and how she tried to care for him even when not able to fully care for herself. I enjoyed his many war and work stories from foreign lands that he spoke of with a smile and a sparkle in his eye. I also will miss his humor and frankness! Please know that your friends at Market Basket Pharmacy join me in remembering Ed fondly and are thinking of you, Barbara, during this difficult time.

My condolences to the family and may I share some word of comfort because life can be so overwhelming at this time. The pain, the grief, and the feeling of hopelessness can be unbearable. I pray that you can find comfort in family and friends but most of all thru our God Jehovah, whose eyes and ears are toward our supplication.
