All I can say is I had greatest uncle anyone could ask for. Now he's gone to a better place and he'll be joining MANY of his loved ones. I'm happy that Uncle Eddie will no longer be in pain although he will be terribly missed by ALL of his nieces and nephews! I love you Uncle Eddie- I will miss you so much!
all my love,
Your Niece- Kelly Gilmore Pothier

Why did he have to go
So young I just don't know why
Things happen half the time
Without reason without rhyme
Lovely, sweet young man
father , husband and grandfather
Makes no sense to me
I just have to believe

he flew up to Heaven on the wings of angels
By the clouds and stars and passed where no one sees
And he walks with Jesus and his loved ones waiting
And I know he's smiling saying
Don't worry 'bout me

Loved ones he left behind
Just trying to survive
And understand the why
Feeling so lost inside
Anger shot straight at God
Then asking for His love
Empty with disbelief
Just hoping that maybe

he flew up to Heaven on the wings of angels
By the clouds and stars and passed where no one sees
And he walks with Jesus and his oved ones waiting
And I know hes smiling saying
Don't worry 'bout me

My deepest sympathy goes out to you and your loving family.. RIP~you will be missed by many..

Love,
Jessica and your great grandson Ryan Paul Jones

Dear loved ones, when Gods breath of life has left us, may we all take comfort in the promise of Jesus our Lord who said " I go to prepare a place for you and if I go, I will come again and take you with me so that where I am you may also be"

During these hard times may I suggest that you don't say good bye, but rather look forward to saying hello again in Gods kingdom where death is no more.

Be at peace, knowing that Eddie’s next conscious thought is the presents of the Lord and all of his loved ones.
