No words are adequate to express the void left in a parent's heart.
Think about his smile, sense of humor, the wonderful food he prepared.
The kindness showed to even a stranger.
My prayers are with you, Bernadette, Ed, and Kendra

Dear Bern and Ed, together with Eddie you fought the "good fight". Weeping may endure for a night because this is a time for it but, this too shall pass and joy will come in the morning. TRUST in the Lord.

Family, may you be comforted that Eddie is no longer in pain even though your sense of loss may overshadow that thought at time. His spirit will always live within each of your hearts forever more. Carry it with the joy he would want you to have.
