To my brother Eddie. I will miss you so much, because I keep thinking you are going to come through the door by momma's house. I keep remembering how you will pick me up from behind, and I will say, put me down Eddie, before you break these old bones. You are in my heart,and my dreams. I loved the way you took time w/my son (Ronnie Jr. and my daughter Ronmonique). You treated them like you were their big brother. You weren't just my little brother, you were also me and daddy Ronnie's God Child. So sleep on little brother, and I will see you when I get there. Love your sister NEEKIE.

And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget. My prayers go out to the family. From the Palmer Family.
