My Dearest Eddie & Family, I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Unfortunately I do not get the newspaper and I did not find out about the loss of your beautiful wife in time. You know that my prayers are with you and your family. I know how much you treasured your wife and well you should have. She was a wonderful person, so warm and welcoming to all. I will never forget the Easter breads she used to bake and the kielbasa. You were blessed with beautiful daughters and grandchildren who will help you to get through this very difficult time in your life. Know that God is good, and even though we love our love ones, God loves them too and he will always protect and wrap his arms around her. Please let me know if there is anything that I can do for you, Eddie, you were a very good friend to me and I thank you for that. Know that you will always be in my prayers and in my heart. God Bless You!.
