Not sure what to say?

Sweetheart,darling Ed,

Its coming up for a year..........I'm not looking forward to my birthday or Christmas. So much has happened,this year and all without you by my side. Not physically anyway. But you still journey with me in my heart and mind and laughter and tears............like this your always with me, so close I can almost touch you. I work hard on being ok with everything. You would be proud of me. Love never dies Ed........it just goes on and on............forever.

I...

I remember Eddie telling me how happy he was living down under. He told me it was like being in heaven, so he isn't very far from home. We will all meet again and enjoy our afterlife to the fullest. Ed, tell all our family members that we said hello. How I will miss those freckles and all the stories you use to tell me. You will truly be missed by all, but mostly by your little sisters.

EJ,
I wish that I could hold you one more time to ease the pain......."but I can't so I'll cry instead".

Eddie,
I'll always remember the fun we had as kids. Wether it was shooting bottle caps,or watching the "Flintstones"at the Brophy's house on Friday night.The Sunday afternoon barbques were the best.Espesially when Eddie, always the dare-devil would dive from the back porch into a two foot deep pool! And we would hear both our moms say Jesus,Mary and Saint Joseph! Eddie always shook things up. I know somewhere he's still at it. God Bless Eddie,
Love Nancy Trunell-McDonnell

Dear Ed,
We saw you very infrequently over the years but The Tales of Ed Brophy are Legendary---Your approach to life was envied by Many and frustrated some. You lived your life on your own terms with Great Humor and Wit. Your sisters will miss their Big Brother Always.

Eddie, my big brother, my friend.
I miss you so much already. Everyday I think of something I want to tell you then I realize I can't and it hurts. My memories of us as grown-ups, wait, did you ever grow up?, always involve fun, sometimes we got into trouble but when that happened we had even more fun.Was there ever a day that you didn't make someone laugh? You always told me "it's okay to get older just never get old" and you never did.
I will love you always.Donna

I always felt blessed to have grown up where I did when I did. Ithan St. in the 50's for a kid was where it was at. From the first warm night in spring too the last chilly night in fall,as each house finished dinner the street would begin to fill with kids coming out to play games. Whatever the game, the infamous green pole was always base. A safe haven in a brutal game of hide the belt. And it was at that pole each night that one of us would yell "first to see the light go on". It was then...

Dear Eddie,
Whenever I think of you I remember the summers in Philly, the fire plug, the green pole, riding our bikes down the alleys, warm summer nights sitting on our back porches listening to our transistor radios, laughing and being silly. I remember your smiling, freckled face. Love - See you later - Linda
