Eddy, my dear step brother, you have always been warm and kind. I am truly blessed to have known you through our parents union in the winter if their lives.
I only learned of your passing when our dear sister in law Amanda lost the battle with cancer and the regrets of not keeping in touch are softened by the joy of knowing both of you are in a place of glory warmed with the love and joyful hearts of the lives you have touched.

We just recently met Eddie , as he performed our son Colby's wedding ceremony and there was no doubt he loved God and His people. We enjoyed visiting with him. Our prayers are with the family during this time of loss.
