Steady Eddie,

May you and your family take comfort in knowing that the Lords Angels have wrapped their wings around your father and taken him into the Heavenly gates!

I really thought I would have the opportunity to sit across the table at least one more time and sip on coffee and talk about our former working associates and catch up on our families. I do and will forever charish those days. Rest in Peace my dear friend and I pray God give the family the strength to carry on.

Love Always
