Words cannot describe the sadness in my heart for your loss.
I met Eddie in the 6th grade. He was the first person I became friends with when we moved to Roanoke. He had the best sense of humor and was the type of person that NEVER met a stranger. News of Eddie's passing brought back a flood of memories from years gone by. I can't tell you how many hours we spent working on those old Broncos and running through the mountains together.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you asking that God's grace ease your pain and leave you with fond memories.

Sherri, my heart goes out to you and your family. It's been years since I've seen Eddie, but whenever I did see him, it was as if no time had lapsed. He always had a smile on his face and could always brighten the day. May God bless you and your family.

Love,
