What a wonderful Christian man we have lost but we know he is in Heaven.

Eddie was so supportive of the Christian Community Outreach Center. I will miss seeing him bringing in food to the Center and then going out to the car and speaking to Mrs. Agee.
I will miss seeing his wonderful smile.

He was a true man of God.

We have been blessed by just knowing him.
