I have such wonderful memories of your family when Ed was a boy. Ed lit up the room, just the way his father did. Will so miss seeing him and Bobby together -- what a duo. Love to you all. Donna Inserra Worsham

Although I shared you with many people that loved you, you will always be "My Eddy"... I will always love you with everything that I have, just as I did in your life... You were my heart, my soul, and my love forever... Not even "cancer" can take away what we had together... I know you are in the "arms of God" and that you have truly found the peace that you so wanted in life... Rest in peace, "My love".... You will live forever in my heart... I love you, Laureen

This doesn't seem real. My Dad was truly my best friend. He always told it like it was even if he knew you didn't want to hear it. He was an amazing person, father, grandfather and friend. I can't believe I'll never get another 'squeezy hug' or watch him give them to my kids again. Daddy, thank you for teaching me to stand up for what's right and to be strong like you. You always inspired me and pushed me to do better. I'll always treasure our memories and be grateful for our time together. The way you were with my kids, your monkeys, was amazing. They adore you. I'll never understand this but I find peace in knowing you're out of pain Daddy. I know you're in God's arms watching over us all. You're my diamond in the sky. I love you so much my heart is truly broken...we'll be together again someday...I love you forever times infinity..Rest in peace Daddy
Your little girl,
Nikki 'Nikkay' 'Planet' or 'Skipper'

Known Ed while working on St. Pete Beach for a couple years and he always kept up a nice conversation and told me to keep doing what I loved most. We had a blast. Him and his fiance even stopped by my home after I graduated from St. Petersburg College in the spring of 2012, that meant a lot to me. Miss him a lot. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family and friends.

Nikki Lyndsey Mark Matt and Eddy,
I am so sorry for your loss. Growing up, I spent more time at your house than my own and have so many wonderful memories of Ed. The five of you (and his grandsons) were truly the light of his life. I have no doubt that even at the end he held on until he could see each of you one last time. No matter how much time passed or how far away you were, you all came first in his life. He will be missed greatly by many. My love and prayers are with you all.

I feel like I'm the luckiest guy in the world to have had a father like you. You will always be my hero, my superman, my mentor, and my heart. Our time got cut short, but we will catch up again someday. All I can say is, thank you and I love you.

Heaven gained the best angel. He was such an amazing father. I wish he was still here, but I know God has a plan for him and he is no longer in pain. He taught me so many things that I will hold onto for the rest of my life. Even though we had so many more memories to be made, our memories that we had will be forever cherished in my heart. He touched so many peoples lives. Life will never be the same without him here, but he will always be with us in our hearts. I will always love you, and miss you constantly, dad. Not a day will go by, not a minute, not a second that I don't think of you. I love you so so much, always and forever.

Love, your baby "Shrome"

To Laureen and the entire Inserra family, I am so sorry for your loss. I never had the pleasure of meeting Eddy, but just from the way Laureen spoke of him he sounded like a great guy who was deeply loved. Although he has gone on his journey, his spirit lives on and will burn forever like the light of this candle.

Ed was not just my brother but also my best friend. All through our lives he was always there for me. His love and compassion knew no bounds. He was truly one of the best. Heaven just got one of the best. Myself and my wife Annie will always miss him and our memories of him will always be in our hearts.
