RIP MR.EDDIE

October 18, 2006
Eddie Gabriel, "Uncle Eldridge", as he was known to us in the family, was deeply loved and is missed by all of us. He was the brother to my dear mother, Mrs. Agnes Gabriel Lagarde, my aunts, Mrs. Onelia Gabriel Sarpy, Mrs. Inola Gabriel Heim. He was the son of Mr. Richard Gabriel and Mrs. Angelina Nelson Gabriel. We loved you then, Uncle Eldridge, and we love you now. Thank you for loving us.

Your niece, Sr. M. Roland Lagarde, SBS.

I have read all 33 pages naming those lost in New Orleans and have come to feel as if I have known you all. I am grieving with you even though I am far away. I am in San Francisco, but I am holding you all close to my heart. Love, Laurie

Mr. Eddie, you made me love New Orleans. My husband took me to NOLA and Pat O's the year we got married. I fell in love with the good time spirit that you were so much a part of. We returned often and always visited the piano bar at Pat O's. It was sad not to see you there this year, but I know you are looking down on us and your spirit will live on.









God Bless Mr. Eddie and his family and friends. We will remember you and honor you by returning to New Orleans again and again to HAVE FUN!

Eddie, thank you for the wonderful memories and the good times. You ARE Pat O's Piano Bar. We love ya so much, honey! A night ain't complete until Eddie's done his thing. Eddie, you keep on doing your thing up in Heaven, OK? Cuz when I get there, I'm gonna be first in line to hear ya play. In the meantime, we'll miss ya here in NOLA, but I can't wait to see the fun ya'll New Orleans guys are cookin' up in Heaven. Eddie, keep the party going til I get there, OK? Will be seein ya soon, dahlin : )

Pat O'Briens and Eddie are both so special to my husband and I. We met at Pat O'Briens and would go to enjoy the piano bar and Eddie very often. When I first heard that Eddie did not make it I remember where I was and felt like I lost a good friend. I never meet Eddie, but feel that he has played a role in making me and my husband work. You are and will forever be missed.
