Kathy, We are very sorry to hear of the loss of your brother. We are praying for you, your mother Marie and all other members of your and Eddie’s families.
Kathy, Remember when we used to get on Eddie’s nerves when we were young, those were the days. He was always the brother I never had. Memories are something nobody can ever take away, so remember the good times. Please take care best friend.
Brenda Faye, Sorry to hear about your brother. When we use to work together, you always would tell me about the funny things Eddie use to say. Even though you didnt live in the same town, I know you were very close. You will be in my prayers and will your Mother. Take care.
