I've only met and chatted with Eddie a few times, years ago when I was working with Deb for a time back when Shane was about 5 years old. I know his health concerns have been such a challenge for him and for his family through the years. Deb, you are such a positive and encouraging person...no matter what was going on in your life. You are an inspiration and I wish you and Shane much comfort and strength as you walk this road together.
One of the most gracious and caring human beings I have ever had the privilege of calling friend. Eddie was a man of enduring strength and courage. Any time I ran into him he was all smiles and full of good humor. His passing is , without doubt, a loss for us on earth, but when you look to the Heaven for a ray of sunshine, be comforted know that Eddie is the one shining the brightest. I’ll miss seeing you in the front row my friend. You were one of the best!
My trip to Thailand with Eddie will always be a precious memory for me.
Eddie was my stepbrother and he was such a sweet and loving boy! I always tried to stay in touch with him over the years and we had been calling and texting each other regularly. He was my little brother.
Deb and Shane - sending my deepest sympathy - keeping you both in my thoughts and prayers - Eddie is among the angels watching over you both - sending hugs ❤️❤️
