Eddie has been a friend of the Resende family for a very long time. You always knew it was him when he called. He had a great voice. He was a wonderful man and will be greatly missed. My condolences to his family. Our love and prayers are with you. (from my Grandmother too, Luzete Santos)

Dear Mark & family,
You are in our prayers & thoughts, and have our deepest sympathies. The memories I have of your dad are great ones, and amongst many funny ones. Your dad will be missed, especially his wonderful sense of humor. Everytime I spoke to him, he always ended our conversations with a joke and a very positive message - something I will never forget. Anytime you are in NJ, please do not be a stranger. We would love to see you!
Love,
Diane Resende & daughters Sarah & Rachel McGahey
