My dearest Mary-you are in my special thoughts and prayers! Eddie was a great man and will be missed! I will always remember how he would
buy gift cards for Joseph's so you and I could go to lunch! Forever in my heart Eddie! You were one of my favorite characters in my Book of Life! I am sure there are lots of tractors to repair in heaven and you are the man to do it!
Rest Easy my friend!
