Eddie my bro, I miss you already. You were part of our family since I was 12 years old. You were like my very own brother. I have many memories and I will cherish them forever. May God take you in His arms and hold you forever.

Dear Eddie,
You will be missed so much by all of us. You fought hard and we know God had a better plan. Your time here on earth was short but you are rejoicing in heaven because I know you asked the Lord into your heart before you left us. You gave me two beatiful daughters Rhiannon and Rachael and my promise to you is that they will keep their relationship with your beautiful little boy Sterling strong and they will make sure he knows that he has two big sisters who love him. May you rest in peace and God be with you.

We will see you later Eddie. It was a pleasure to know you. The small chats we had as I would run pass you through the office getting records and paper work at Dr. Headley's. I saw a very strong man who took it as long as he could. My condolences to your wife and family. I am sending my prayers and deepest sympathy to you all. God wanted him to be free of pain. And know that we really cared for him
