Mr. and Mrs Eberhardt, and Felicia Eberhardt,



Soon I am coming

Soon I am coming to the road

Soon I am coming to the road to lay my burdens down



I won't look back to see if you have followed

I'll take in stride all of my sorrows

as I go to lay my burdens down



I will go away from this place

I will go away from this place

I will go, and leave you here

when I go to lay my burdens down



Sweet Jesus, will take my hand

and lead me

and I will go

It's not that I don't love you

But my heart is weak and heavy

I've traveled these streets far to long

So I will go with him

and lay my burdens down





I knew Fatman, probally not as personally as others but I remember him as being a class clown,very talkative and of course popular,most importanatly he was a very nice person. I'm not going to pretend that anyone can understand how your family is feeling because every pain is different but I sympathize because I have recently had a lost myself. God will take of you just believe in him and he will see you through this rough time. Fee I love you, your lil sister Tana.

Fatman I am sad you are gone but happy you are in a better place. I love you and always will. All I have now are memories from you making up songs, acting like people, and when you use to play Nintendo and you would always win. I would play and never win but you would help me and I thank you for everything for being there for me and being my big brother/cousin.



To: My Aunt Pat

If you need anything you can call me I will be right there. You know you have my love and much more.

"time and unforeseen occurrence" has hit the Eberhardt family, and for that we are truly saddened. In your time of bereavement continue to draw close the Lord; He will help you during these times. In the words of someone else I would like to offer you this quote: " Suffering comes to us, not to make us sad, but sober; not to make us sorry; but wise." When you are sorrowful, look again in your heart, for you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been you delight.

Pat,

I remember "fatman" from 2NDAve hanging with Kevin, Chucky,Edward, & Reggie. He was the smallest of them all, but never overlooked. His smile is what always stood out the most, I can't remember a day I ever saw him &he was not smilling. That smile was so bright it brighten a gloomy day. So evertime the sunshines I will think of "Fatman" & think that he is shinning for all of us to see.

My deepest sympathy goes out to your family at this time. May God be with them.



To Fats,

As I write I can only think of memories from the past and a smile lights my face. It's been a long time, but you still have a place in my heart. It hasn't quite set in that I won't run across your face in the local club or latest hot spot. Just remember the last time we did see each other I expressed my feelings, so I have some closure. Other than what I said at that time, you will be remembered.



Just think, now you are at peace. As you shine down, help guide the future generations to more prosperous destinations.

FATMAN WILL BE GREATLY MISSED BY ME EVEN THOUGH WE DID NOT SPEND ALOT OF TIME TOGETHER AND WE DID NOT SEE EACH OTHER OFTEN I THOUGHT ABOUT FATMAN, AUNT DELORES, PUDDIN, GIGI,DEEDEE, AND THE REST OF THE FAMILY EVERYDAY. MY DAD CALLED ME AT HOME AND HE SAID TURN ON THE NEWS AND THE FIRST THING I SAID WAS FOR WHAT WHEN I TURNED ON THE NEWS AND I SAW WHAT HAD HAPPENED MY HEART SKIPPED A BEAT AND I THOUGHT TO MYSELF NO NOT MY COUSIN. AND THEN I STARTED FEELING GUILTY THAT WE DID NOT SPEND ALOT OF TIME WITH EACH OTHER AND THE FAMILY ONLY COME TOGETHER IN SAD TIMES LIKE THIS. I KNOW GRANDMA COTMAN IS UP THERE WATCHING OVER HIM AND THEY ARE LOOKING DOWN ON US TRYING TO TELL US NO ONE IS PROMISED TOMORROW SO WE NEED TO COME TOGETHER NOT ONLY AT FUNERALS BUT IN GOOD TIMES AND BAD TIMES. WE OUR FAMILY AND FAMILY ALWAYS STICK TOGETHER. PAT, MAURICE SR., AUNT DELORES, FELICIA, AND THE REST OF THE FAMILY YOU WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY PRAYERS KEEP YOUR HEAD UP HIGH AND NO THAT FATMAN IS IN A BETTER PLACE WHERE THERE IS NO SORROW OR PAIN AND WHERE IT IS SUNNY EVERYDAY AND THERE IS NO RAIN. GOD BLESS YOU! FATMAN AND MAY YOUR SOUL REST IN PEACE!

Pat,

I am truly feeling your pain right now. I just want you to know that Fatman did not leave this earth without being remembered. I can just see him now looking down on us feeling over-joyed by the abundance of love from friends and relatives who know him. I can truly say I will miss the good times we shared growing up as cousins. I can remember when we I lived with you and he used to make jokes about me being pregnant. I can also remember him free-style rapping and I was supposed to be singing the hooks to the song. Boy, did we think we were doing something. Ha Ha. I could go one and on with memories. He was like the over protective little brother I never had. I will miss you CUZ. You will always be in my heart. And Pat I want you to know Fatman would have wanted me to look out for you so I will carry out his wishes. (You know you are like my second-special mom I never had). A mom is more than just giving birth to a child. You definitely exemplify all of the characteristics of a SUPER-MOM.



Love Always

Your Big Cousin Puddin

RIP "Fatman"

Ms. Eberhardt -



During these very difficult times, you will be showered with love from all of Fatman's friends who loved him and cherished him. You will know how your son's life has touched so many people. But, God is going to shower you with his strength and his guidance to help you through.



You're going to always have 'Fatman' on your mind, but always remember he'll never be too far from you because he'll forever be in your heart.



Please keep these words close to your heart:



"Though the clouds are dark around you, and the skies are filled with gray, God will give you faith and courage; Though your heart is heavy ladened, God will guide you all the way. He will send you hope and promise; There will come a better day !!



May the Love of God whom we we know is our help and our strength; Bless you and keep you in his care.

Damn, I can't believe you're gone. I will never forget the times we've shared. Words can't express how much you meant to me and my son. Thank you for being understanding, accepting, loving, a father figure to Quez and most of all my bestfriend. Your legacy will continue to live on not only in our hearts but in our fond memories we shared with you! I love you and can't wait til we shall meet again. This is not goodbye, Fatty; but goodnight to a man my son and I have learned to cherish, love and adore.
