I was so sorry to see the obituary in the paper this morning. I did not know Eddie had passed, or would have made it to the funeral. My thoughts and prayers are with you-the family. I am so happy I had a good visit with him last year. God bless all.

Dear Family and Friends,
I'm sorry for your loss. I just wanted to leave you with an encouraging scripture that has helped me deal with the loss of a loved one. It is found in the Bible Book of Revelation 21:4, it reads, " And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.â€
