Eddie Sr. & Gloria
While the loss of a loved one is never easy, even when anticipated, it is most certainly the hardest when they are taken from us too soon. Your recent loss of Eddie Jr. at such a young age is definitely a hard loss. We offer our sincere condolence and deepest sympathy. May the outpouring of sympathy, the kind acts of friends and strangers and the comfort in knowing that your loss is felt by many, help you through this difficult time.
I ask for God's blessings on you and the family. May you find the courage and strength to move forward in peace and confidence and in knowing that his was a life well-lived.
