Ed was one of those people that my dad, Robert Brotherton, a carpenter at the time, always spoke of fondly as he did business at Swanson’s for all those years he built and remodeled houses. He knew Ed had integrity, and he could trust what he said. Praying that God will provide peace and comfort at this difficult time.

I am so proud to be in this great family. Grandma Goble produced wonderful hard-working children who had FAITH-IN-GOD, and they exemplified Christian living. Ed Good followed their legacy and, by faith, we know Uncle Elijah and Aunt Cora are congratulating him in HEAVEN. I thank God for this wonderful Christian heritage and the life of my Uncle (actully, my cousin) Ed.

Roberta, Karen, and Roger,
I am so deeply sorry for your loss of your husband and father. And to our dear cousins, Charles, Paul, Evelyn, Faye, Rose Ann, their children and spouses, I wish I could have been with you at the services today. Please accept my sincere condolences as you process and grieve this most painful of losses. So glad we got to be together last year in West Plains. Ed was the template for a good guy. If we could duplicate him all over, the world would be a much better place. Sending hugs and loving thoughts to you all today.
