I recall Cousin Eddie's big smile the few times I met him. May he enjoy eternity and maybe a cigar or two with my Dad. My Dad always spoke well of Eddie and, I remember Eddie being there for my Father's 80th Birthday Celebration in Norfolk, VA. My Condolences to Noreen and the rest of the Donovan Family.
