Eddie was a big part of my life in High School, beginning with Prom. To this very day I go back in time every time I hear "To Love Somebody" that he'd sing to me or watch old Jerry Lewis movies at Granny's. Special memories for a special man. I will carry your memory with me forever. Rest in peace now Eddie, you certainly gave it your all.

Daddy you will be missed more than you will ever know! I am heartbroken and in the worst pain I will ever experience in a lifetime! I thought that fighting this war by your side for the past couple years and watching the emense pain you were in everyday would soften the blow of you leaving this earth but no one is ever prepared. Even though I can not image being able to laugh or love life again right now I know in my heart I will because I have your personality and that's who you were! I will sing again! Love you so much, and till we meet again I will keep your memory alive for Reina and the girls so they never forget what an amazing Poppy they had!
