May Uncle Ed Rest In Peace. Uncle Ed was tough on the outside but a softie on the inside. He didn’t want you to see that softer side that was a lover of music and animals. He was proud of his family and loved to tell stories about the history of his family. I will always remember his piercing blue eyes and his soft smile. I am sending many hugs and lots of prayers to Aunt Mary Lou, Mark and Andy. God Bless you all. Love, Lynn and Carl

The Florida family shares in your loss of Uncle Ed and I wish you peace at this time and in the future. I will always remember our visits to Missouri and Uncle Ed’s and Aunt Mary Lou’s brief but meaningful trips to Florida. I will also remember that twinkle in to sharp blue eyes. He certainly was a pistol!
Love,
Shelley

Mary Lou,
I always enjoyed going into your shop when we lived in West Plains. It was so peaceful and calming in there with the music you were playing. May you experience those same feelings now. God bless you. Sally

Aunt Mary Lou, Mark and Andy…I am deeply saddened to hear of Uncle Ed’s passing. My deepest sympathies and heartfelt condolences go out to you all. I wasn’t fortunate enough to spend alot of time with family there, but your family, Uncle Ed and Aunt Mary Lou…ALL of the family made me feel so welcome, like I belonged. I will treasure the moments I did have with him and even though it’s been said, I will never forget those bright blue eyes and that mischevious sense of humor. A very wise man indeed. Praying for God’s grace to comfort you during this difficult time. Love you all, Vickie Lynn Ingalsbe-Corley

Andy, and all the Ingalsbe Family,
We are so sorry for your loss. We never got to meet Mary Lou, but we know Andy & Judy. We met Ed several years ago when we went to look at his bull, Elvis. We enjoyed a nice visit with Ed that day, and we could tell what a fine person he was. Our prayer for you all is that the wonderful memories you have will help you through this sad time.
