Well Eddie, we buried you today and my heart is still breaking for you and the family. All of those questions arise like why? You were too young! You came into my life when I was only 12 and had a forever impact on my life. I am sorry that we never spoke as much as we should haveand I am so sorry. I will always consider you my step-father and want you to know that I love you. You are at peace and we will one day meet again.
Love always,
