And tonight Taps plays a final time for the beloved founder of this great land we call ARFCOM.
Peace brother, cancer didn’t beat you, you took it down with you. None of us are victorious in death, but you fought your enemy to a draw... and that’s the most anybody can do. Prayers for your family, and thank you for keeping me strong in my battle with cancer. |

Death is nothing at all. It does not count. I have only slipped away into the next room. Nothing has happened. Everything remains exactly as it was. I am I, and you are you, and the old life that we lived so fondly together is untouched, unchanged. Whatever we were to each other, that we are still. Call me by the old familiar name. Speak of me in the easy way which you always used. Put no difference into your tone. Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes that we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name be ever the household word that it always was. Let it be spoken without an effort, without the ghost of a shadow upon it. Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was. There is absolute and unbroken continuity. What is this death but a negligible accident? Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just round the corner. All is well. Nothing is hurt; nothing is lost. One brief moment and all will be as it was before. How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting when we meet again!

In nature’s ebb and flow, God’s eternal law abides.
When tears dim our vision or grief clouds our understanding, we often lose sight of God’s eternal plan. Yet we know that growth and decay, life and death, all reveal a divine purpose. God who is our support in the struggles of life, is also our hope in death. We have set God before us and shall not despair. In God’s hands are the souls of all the living and the spirits of all flesh. Under God’s protection we abide, and by God’s love are we comforted. O Life of our life, Soul of our soul, cause Your light to shine into our hearts, and fill our spirits with abiding trust in You. The light of life is a finite flame. Like the Shabbat candles, Life is kindled, it burns, it glows, It is radiant with warmth and beauty. But soon it fades, its substance is consumed, And it is no more. In light we see; In light we are seen. The flames dance and our lives are full. But as night follows day, The candle of our life burns down and gutters. There is an end to the flame. We see no more And are no more seen, Yet we do not despair, For we are more than a memory Slowly fading into the darkness. With our lives we give life. Something of us can never die; We move in the eternal cycle Of darkness and death, Of light and life. My deepest condolences to the entire Avila family. The loss of Edward is a stunning blow to the extended family we call Arfcom. His memory will live on as an inspiration to all of the brothers and sisters here who were touched by him, directly or indirectly. He will not be forgotten, his spirit lives on in all of us. |

This website has changed my life.
Is there by chance a favorite charity Ed jr. had we could donate to in his name? |

I still think about Ed often.
We had good talks, and he was strong when he had every reason not to be. Miss those talks. |
