Eddie was my sweet nephew. One of the greatest friends I have ever been blessed with. I know he is Heaven with no more pain and suffering. I will always love and miss him here on this earth. He made earth a better place if you knew him. He was a SYMPATHY

Delivered to funeral home, service location, or family address great friend to everyone. Eddie helped so many people and would give the shirt off his back if you needed it. He was a great Dad, grandpa, nephew, son, brother and a wonderful Christian man. I will love and miss forever. Love you my sweet nephew.

Eddie will always be one of my favorite people to have worked at our hospital. He made learning to become a nurse enjoyable with always telling his funny jokes on difficult days and in the OR for nervous mothers about to have their baby. He was so thoughtful, would give the shirt off his back for anyone, and would defend you no matter what if you were lucky enough to call him a friend. He missed his son, Will, so much but now he gets to see him again. Thoughts and prayers to your whole family. We love you Eddie!

I'm so sad that you have left this world but I know, without a doubt you are with our Lord Jesus. You are the best brother in the world and it's going to be a long time for my heart to quit hurting. We had great memories growing up and great parents who loved us so much. After seeing Jesus you will see Will, Mom, and Dad. I know that will make you rejoice. Don't forget to tell Mom, Dad, and Will how much I miss and love them. Be sure and tell grandparents and friends the same. I don't know how life is going to be liv I no without you. You have been my rock since Mom and Dad passed. I really believed with all my heart, JESUS CHRIST would totally heal you. I LOVE YOU MY PRECIOUS BROTHER. WE WILL BE TOGETHER AGAIN ONE DAY SOON AND WE WILL ALL CELEBRATE TOGETHER. I LOVE YOU. YOUR SISTER, DEB.
