Eddie was our neighbor at Aspen Hills Subdivision for 18 years. We couldn't have had a better neighbor. When we would run into him (Bergton Fair, Walmart),he always asked about our kids even though they are grown-up and moved away. We are so sorry for your loss but know Eddie is at a better place and that you all will be together one day. God be with each one of you.
