[Diabetes-talk] Ed Bryant

[Diane]

Hi everyone,
I just got off the phone with Gail and she said Ed had a deep brain stem 
stroke when he got up yesterday morning.  They had the life support removed 
this evening as there was not any brain activity.
She will let me know when the funeral is, probably Thursday.
What an incredible leader and friend we have all lost.
He always wanted the very best for all of us and was always aware of what 
was going on.
Please keep the family in your prayers.
Mike, may we send some flowers?
Diane
