Annie, I am so very sorry to hear of Eddie's passing. I have thought about you a lot and when Vinny told me of Eddie's passing I had to find a way to contact you and let you know that you are thought of often and are not alone. Eddie will always be looking over you and Little Eddie.

Eddie with his great sense of humor was always cracking us up. This past Halloween he patiently waited on the sidewalk while Little Eddie & friends ran to my door. While I was handing out candy, Big Eddie called out: "I like your butterfly wings. Can I borrow them?"
He will be missed. Stay strong,sista.
