Eddie, you always loved all of your nieces and nephews. You had the biggest heart a man could have, being so generous & loving. You will always be in my heart and we will see each other one day. I guess God needed a new angel and he chose you. He couldn't have chosen a better person to be an angel for Him than you, Please tell the rest of the family that are there with you that I love them and miss them all. I love you, Uncle Eddie. You will never be forgotten!!
