To the Shockley family. You have my deepest sympathy on your loss. Eddie was a fine gentleman and carried the Shockley name with dignity. He was always a friendly fella and very kind. It is never easy to loss a family member, let alone a child. Know in your mind that he is reunited with his mother and has gentle loving arms holding him for eternity. God Bless You
