I'm so sorry about your loss. I went to West Hills with Eddie, and I will always remember him to be one of those people that could always make people smile! When I think of him, his funny little dances are the first thing that come to mind! He was such a caring person, and he will be deeply missed! My thoughts and prayers are with your family!

Eddie,

You were not just my cousin. You were my best friend. You were a great guy who had such a big heart. We love and miss you always.

We certainly will miss Eddie. As a friend and a neighbor of his, it's hard to sleep at night knowing that he's gone. I will certainly miss hearing him drive his El Camino and riding his bike down the street. It's been too quiet without him. I will certainly miss him.

Dear Vivas Family,
I was Edwards counselor at West Hills College and found him to be a bright, sensitive student and also watched him play while he was with us....I have a 17 year old and it breaks my heart to read about these types of stories....He was a great kid and I'll remember his smiling face in the cafeteria serving me and my friend Tracey, the athletic trainer. We would go in at 8:45 almost every morning and Eddie was there....May God Bless the family in this difficult time.

Please accept my deepest sympathies. No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve. I can not imagine what you are going through, but you raised an amazing child.

Eddie & Pearl, I'm so sorry for your loss. I opened the newspaper today here at work and when I turned the page I just froze. I stood in shock with tears in my eyes looking at the handsome young man that has gone to be with the god. They years just go by so fast and I take for granted that I will see you and your family in passing somewhere in Sanger or Fresno. Which in times like this I wish I had made time to come by and see how everyone is. I feel so bad that I have lost contact with you guys and of course my godson Isacc. Life is to short and something like this proves it. Benny and Sammi send their love and may god give you strength through this tough time.
