To all of Eddie's family:
My heart aches for each of you knowing how much you loved this man and how you must feel an inconsolable loss. May God hold you very close as you reflect upon his life and the heavenly reward he has gained. His 57 years on this earth seems short in the grand scheme of life and he has gone to the place God prepared with no more pain and sickness. Remember the good times you shared with him and he will always live in your heart. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Much Love, Betty
