To the family of Ed Rucker,
I would like to extend my sincerest condolences at the passing of Ed and let you know how much he will be missed.

Although I never met Ed in person, he and I were long time contacts (and buddies) through the MMS system and he always had time to help me with my work problems no matter how small or large.

I am so saddened to hear that he has left this world before he got to enjoy his well earned retirement, and I will miss his easy ways and calm voice. God's blessings on all of you during this difficult adjustment.
Sincerely,

Janice Lopez

Gloria and Family, I was shocked and saddened to hear of your lost of Ed, he was truly a blessing at MMS. I had met Ed almost a year ago and could tell he was a very nice and respected person by his peers which I could see why; you knew if Ed picked at you he must of consider you a friend, which I'm glad and proud to say he picked at me the first day I started here, December 22, 2008. Ed will be missed, and I will miss him when he talked about him and his Bar-B-Que buddy entering into the Bar-B-Que contest through-out the state. May God be with you and your Family, and be your strength and source during this time, and you find your peace and comfort in the Lord.

Gloria & Family,

I am so sorry and sadden to hear that Eddie had passed. Eddie was a good person and will be deeply missed by all that knew him. Please let me know if there is anything that I can do for you and your family. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.

Please find comfort in these words:

God saw you getting weary, And a cure was not to be; So He put His arms around you And whispered, "Come with Me." With tearful eyes we watched you, And saw you pass away, And though we loved you dearly, We could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, Hard working hands were put to rest God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best.

Love
Darlene E. Jewett

My heartfelt condolences go out to the child / children of Eddie whom I have never met and to his mother Ruth whom I have always known to be the strong and loving Matriarch of the Rucker Family. I will never forget Eddie and Stevie who were my big brothers growing up on the Westside.

" Bless those who mourn, eternal God,
with the comfort of your love
that they may face each new day with hope and the certainty that nothing can destroy the good that has been given. May their memories become joyful,their days enriched with friendship,and their lives encircled by your love.
Amen."
