Dear Edward,
We love you like a brother and will miss you greatly. You loved family and talked about your children and grandchildren with so much happiness and joy. We talked about getting the families together, but it did not come to pass (on earth). Christians have the assurance of knowing being absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Our faith tells us you are celebrating with your family and friends in heaven, with this, we will see each other again. You are precious and may God bless your children, grandchildren, family and friends and give them the strength and courage for the days ahead.
Your are precious

Met again I love you Edward and I will miss you dearly Mom and and your sister Uretha now you can race those cars in heaven like we use to sitting In the livingroom . Gone but he er forgotten.
Edward…….I have to celebrate the years we were best friends. The times of laughter we enjoyed and the times of tears together, as we hurt. Always being totally ourselves along the way. No matter how many miles between us, we could look to the sky and share the same moon, as we chat. Today I’m sad because all that can be no more. Our Creator has different pat
Our Creator had a different path for each of us. I’m so blessed to have crossed your path in this life. Thank you for all your encouraging words…A wise man you were…Love you to that moon and back…Friends forever, Delores

His broad smile and ever-present laugh were gifts to me again just this past week. So, so hard to believe that this has happened and the world of so many will now be a little less cheerful for a time.
For his family, I offer this – left by my father for me to find after his passing.
“If I should go while you’re still here, know that I yet live on, vibrating to a different measure, behind a veil through which you may not see.
Have faith, therefore, as I wait there for you and a time when we may be together again, each aware of the other.
Until then, when you need me, whisper my name in your heart, for I shall always be there.”
Again, so sorry for your loss. Eddie was a gift to all who were blessed by his friendship.
