To Eddie's Family and Friends, I worked at 3M with Eddie for many years. I always loved his personality and he was always saying things to kid you and I have to admit, I fell for it a lot. I retired from 3M in June of 2015, so I hadn't heard anything about him for a while. I am so shocked to hear of his passing, but I will never forget this young man named Eddie, for everybody loved him and his goodness and sweetness. May you rest in peace, truly one of a kind. Love u Eddie......

Ernest and Shirley,

We're so very sorry to hear of Eddie's passing. Knew he wasn't well for a while, but no matter what, no one is ever ready to give up their loved one.

Just isn't right for a parent to outlive their child. Will always remember Eddie by his smile and joking ways.

I Pray that the Lord will give you comfort and strength in the coming days.
If there's anything I can do for either of you, please don't hesitate to ask.

In Christian Love,
Darlene and Phillip Messer
