This is Nicole Brunette. I was so sad to hear when Robert Browning called me with this terrible news about Eddie. I have known Eddie and Annie for many years. Annie and I were roommates at the Hedden House and I got to know what a beautiful woman she is, and I am sure this is a very difficult time for her and Eddie's family. Eddie was a truly wonderful man with a beautiful spirit! He was at the hospital when my son, Gavin, was born. Gavin absolutely loved Eddie, and I am sad that he will not grow up having someone such as Eddie in his life. Even though he has passed, he is in a wonderful place, and his memory will never be forgotten! I will keep Annie and his family in my prayers! I am grateful to have been able to share part of my life with him.
Love
Nicole Brunette

For me- Eddie was a protector. He always looked out for my best interest. He wanted nothing but to uplift me and he wanted me to believe in myself. Because of you Eddie, today I will do my best to believe in myself and pass on to someone else what you have passed on to me. God grant us the serenity to accept the things we cannot change, the courage to change the things we can and the wisdom to know the difference.
