Eddie and I met online sometime around our mutual birthday (January 8th) in 1988 -- I think -- and then in person. About the same time I had met Pattie online but never in person. Something (or someone) told me that the two of them would make an awesome pair. I broached the subject with each of them separately and they agreed to meet. The rest is history! I am so glad that I was instrumental in "facilitating fate" and helping them both have a wonderful life together.
Eddie you will be missed by many! Pattie, God will continue to surround you with His love and send you comfort in the form of family and friends. Take care my friend.
