I can remember back as far as when you were in the service. I remember once you came home, late at night all dressed in your uniform and gave donna and I little brown horses. You taught me how to be passionate about cooking at a young age. And that everything should be tried at least once. I remember family christmases and all the times out muddin and playing rabbit!!! The things that you just never forget. You gave me such great memories.

You were number one of the Three Musketeers. Now you and number two have left me with many wonderful childhood memories. One day the three of us can go rabbit racing in heaven. My prayers are with your sisters, wife and children. I hope that you have met up with your mom and dad. I know that you will be a guardian angel for many. You will be sorely missed. RIP my friend.

If I could, I would fly up to Heaven and bring you home again. Even if it's just to hear your voice say "Hey, sis" or so that I could beg you just one more time to sing me my favorite song. You were the brother everyone wished/wishes they could have. You had such a huge heart and showed it. Your humor was infectious and I am really going to miss your crazy stupid jokes. I want to go fishing with you again because catching nothing was so much fun. I will miss you Eddie and I will always love you.

I wish today was a day in the far gone past where you are still here. As an only brother, you leave me with such a hole in my heart. I feel incomplete as if something is missing. I want to hear "Hey sis" one more time. I want to be able to listen to your stupid jokes again and again. Every time I saw you, you told me the same ones. If I could bring you home again I would make my way to heaven just to bring you back. I love you Ed, and I am going to miss you so much. Until I see you again, save a fishing spot in heaven for me, would you?!?
