Condolences to the O'Brien Family...
A sibling link has been broken, Eddie was the oldest who lead the way in life and now death... Death is not easy for those that are left behind... but peace for the one who embraces it. May the many memories that each person shares of a time in Eddies life, bring a smile to your face in remembering him. May God Bless and comfort each of you in your loss.
