From Mrs. Eggbeater On November 7th, Ed passed away in his sleep. I am still searching his records to find the letter that he had written to send to his groups after his death. As soon as I find it I will post it for you all to read his last real thoughts. I do know that he very much appreciated all that you here have done, and are doing. I am sorry to say that at the time of the elections, he was not able to completely understand the magnitude of the outcome, yet, I am sure that he would have been very pleased to see his country turn back to one that is fair, honest and compassionate.
He never once complained about his illness, he never once became angry. A small bit if information about his life that he never liked to share with most people.
Ed was raised in a strick conservative family. His political theory early in his life was one of a right wing conservative. Somewhere along the line he found and accepted Christ into his life, he began to look at who he was and how he treated others around him. Slowley he changed his outlook, one from what can he do for himself, to what could he do to make others realize the love, and the success that he himself had found.
I know that he will miss those that touched his life. You here at the underground are among those that helped guide him in his efforts to be a better person. I think that in some ways, he registered here to try and than each and every one of you for staying with the fight to create a better world.
Again, when I am able to find his letter to all those that touched him, I will post it for you to read. That is what he wanted, that is what I will do.
as Ed would have said if he could. God Bless you all, and keep up the fight.
Mrs Eggbeater. (Ellen)

Mrs. Eggbeater. I remember reading your husband's post informing us about his illness. He had a great outlook, I thought, and even from that one posting I felt that I got a sense of what he was like as a person. I am sorry that he didn't fully appreciate the results of the election, and even more sorry that you have lost him as your life's companion. My thoughts and prayers are with you, and please consider posting here as a member someday in the future. We would love to hear from you. Peace.

It's very moving to hear that his faith turned him in the direction of being a progressive. I have no doubt his Creator will embrace him for that. As we embrace his memory.

Each one teach one is very important to all of us and I am sure that Ed knew that and he contributed to the collective thoughts and lessons here.
I would hope that you would continue that great work for him by joining us here when you can. I think he would have liked that too.
:grouphug: My thoughts are with you. Thank you for sharing Ed with all of us.

89. Condolences to you Mrs. EB & your family |
|
I did not know your husband, but his posts were always quite poignant. When I read the news on another thread this morning, I sat on the couch and cried for about 5 minutes. When one of our own at DU passes, it touches us all personally.
I hope Ed is at peace now. :hug: :hug:

Thank you for remembering us here at such a sad time for yourself. It is good to know when there is a passing so we can think on the important matters and renew our dedication to do well in life.
Strength to you, Ellen. Come by the Bereavement group anytime you need a shoulder to lean on. Lots of good people to share a burden with now or anytime later, when things weigh heavy on you.

98. Ellen - I'm feeling sad but had to smile |
|
when I read what Ed wrote in one of his posts regarding his health situation.
"....besides, maybe God will give me smoting power. watch for some rather smokey changes in the American Political Arena shortly after I am allowed to do so."
All I can say is, right on Eggbeater - you did good!!!

Thank you for letting us know. I'm so sorry your companion will no longer be right beside you to pass along all the outrageous/scary/funny things we say here on DU. I hope you'll feel comfortable enough here among us to visit more when your world is no longer turned so upside down. And I'm truly sorry you are going through this during the holidays. Much love and good luck to you and yours.

He didn't post much, and I never interacted with him here, but I assure you, I was aware of him, and aware of the thoughts he chose to share publicly in the last couple of months of his life.
And my impression was that this was one guy who had really come to understand what "live and let live" was all about.
Thank you for letting us know. I'm sorry he's gone. Really sorry -- for you, but for us, too.

Mrs Eggbeater. He was truly an inspiration here and we are sorry to lose him, even more sorry to know that you and your family have lost a loved one. I was struck by his humble dignity and his courage in speaking of his illness and, still, his desire was to see his country regain its dignity and courage.
He will be missed.
Godspeed Eggbeater.

May your husband rest in peace. It is amazing how much accepting the true message of Christ makes you a liberal - I think He would like it here, and I'm glad your husband is now in the arms of the Lord.
My thoughts go to you and your family also, that you may be acomfort to each other in this difficult loss.

He showed his dignity with his disease and his constant pushing us to keep fighting the good fight touched me. I hope I'm as able to touch lives and create good in the last years of my life. I'm going to believe that he knew that we had won this battle. Most of us knew well before the election. Thank you for posting and I'm sorry for your and our loss.
