To the Stephenson family,

You all have been a part of my life as long as I can remember. From learning to water ski at your place on Buffalo Lake as a kid, to sitting under with you and my kids and family on the beach at Ocean Drive as late as last summer. Mr. Stephenson will be missed. My prayers are with you.

Mr. Eddie was a wonderful man with a vivid sense of humor. I loved all of our conversations when I worked for him at his cleaners on Raeford road. I will miss him terribly. My prayers go out to the Stephenson family and extended relatives.

I will always appreciate the great conversations Eddie and I had about Trey and Grady. We had a lot of laughs about our sons and were very proud of them. I am thankful for Eddie's personal attention that he gave Trey. You could not know Eddie and not be a better person for it. Kindest regards to his wonderful family. David Pugh, jr.

Grady,
I am so shocked to hear about the passing of your father. In high school he was like a father to me. You and your family will be in my prayers. I know it is a very tough time for you right now. Take comfort in knowing that he is in God's company and free of pain. He will be with us everyday of our lives. Try to remember the good things about your father as he had thousands of good qualities. I will always remember his smile and how he would talk to me at Bordeaux Drug during lunch. God bless you and you family.
