My prayers and thoughts go out to the Langen family. I knew Edward only through his son, Ken, a beloved and much-valued work partner. Ken's pleasant demeanor, hard work, honesty & superb skills as a physician are a direct reflection of the love and guidance he received from his parents & now deceased father. I know how fond and loving Ken was of his father, and want him to know we share his pain and his family's loss. God bless Edward Langen.
Helene, so sorry to learn of the loss of your husband. May you take comfort in the memories of your shared good times. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
