Dear Pam and Family,
I was in Arizona when I heard the news and I am so very sorry for the loss of your husband, father, grandfather. My fondest Memories are being in a houseful of lively happy family when my parents brought us to visit Aunt Gloria or we attended weddings and gatherings. We were treated always with love and kindness from Eddie. He would joke and tease and he was fun. I remember having wonderful times in my youth when we all got together. For this I am grateful. My sincere sympathy and condolences to the whole family. Blessings and Peace be with you as you heal from the sadness of loss. He is just a whisper away across the veil and by your side to guide always and forever until you join in the Heavens again. Sending Love and Hugs to all! Tina Feather
