Eddie was a wonderful Christian man, who loved the lord. There are many times to remember him by and every one began with his smile. He was loved by all who knew him as their friend and I look forward to seeing him in glory. Ain't God Good to give us so many blessings and Eddie was one of those blessings.

Eddie was a member of Holly Springs Baptist Church, and led the choir for a period of time, When I think of Eddie , I think of someone always with a smile, and someone you wanted to talk to, because he made you laugh. If he was your friend, you knew it. Eddie's hard work and tremendous effort helped Holly Springs Baptist Church as a faithful servant, He loved the lord. I remember him bringing bisquits for sunday school class every sunday morning.I cant mention all the things Eddie has done for people, he wouldn't want me too, but to be honest I think his heart out grew his body. They are shouting on hills of glory this morning. AS Eddie would sing "Ain't God Good"
