Dear Esther, Louis, Joel and (many) grandchildren, We were saddened by the sudden deterioration and passing of Ed. We will always remember him as a vibrant, outgoing, and caring man. When he and Esther visited Israel, they were able to spend some time with us many years ago. We always enjoyed Ed's friendliness and warmth to us at family simchas and gatherings. May the good memories of him bring you comfort and peace. Martin and Nechama Parker

Tante Esther, Louis, Risa, Joel & Marci, and all the Vandersluis family.... We will miss Oom Eddie greatly, and send our deepest condolences. Oom Eddie was not just an cherished cousin, but also a close and trusted family friend, whose perspectives and advice was cherished. Full of charm, wit, kindness and wisdom, he was always interested in the whereabouts and activities of the extended family. He will be sorely missed. May his life be inspiration and blessing to us all.

Just to say that had I Iived closer, I would have sat Shiva with you. Instead I have lit a Shiva candle for the Shiva week le Kavod Willem for Eddy and am adhering to the Shiva rules for a family member. Kaddish is being said every morning and evening services in various synagogues in Amsterdam and Oss/Nijmegen for Eddy. Joel, your birthday. I am sorry. Your, Robertine van der Sluis-Nunes Nabarro
