Wanda & Danny,

I was utterly floored when I found out the news of Eddie's passing. I know I speak for the entire LRHS soccer family when I say Eddie was truly a joy to play alongside and to be around. He always had a smile and loved to joke and laugh, but also had a fire and determined spirit. When things got tough, I never doubted Eddie would have my back at a moments notice...

I wanted to extend my deepest sympathies and condolences to your family during this difficult time. May his star shine the brightest from the heavens

Dear Wanda and Danny,
I am heartbroken for you. Please know that I am praying for you and your family at this time. May the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort surround you with love.
Your Friend,
