At December 23 2009 Edward Schillebeeckx passed away. Around Christmas we, members of the Edward Schillebeeckx Foundation, wish each other peace and love. But above all we share our memories of Edward. Each of us had a personal relationship with Edward. Edward was near to us all. Even in his last days, Edward had a clear mind. During Christmas, we remember more strongly our encounters with Edward. We have known a sharp and inspiring theologian and thinker. But above all, we experienced a warm, compassionate, and human Edward. We will cherish this.
