Just wanted to say how sorry I was to hear of Mr. Eddie's passing. We were part of the coffee shop crowd at Don's in Belle Chasse. I am sorry that I was not able to attend the funeral and meet his family and give my condolences in person. I have known Mr. Eddie many years and many times we bought each other coffee and a doughnut. He was a very sweet and kind person and he will be surely missed by everyone who knew him. Again my heartfelt sympathies to all of his family.

We were all so blessed to have this man in our family. His smile and love of life will be sorely missed by all, and our family celebrations won't be the same without him. We are praying that the strength of God's loving arms will engulf this family in it's time of sorrow.
