My uncle Eddie was the best!!! My brothers and I loved him more than words can express. He was many things to many people but his love for his nephews when they were alive and his niece was one that made us so lucky and proud that he was our uncle!! My last conversation with Eddie just a week before he passed was a gift that my uncle gave me. Thank you for your words Eddie! I love you and I'll miss you for the rest of my life. You had the best sense of humor and your fun loving spirit will live on with all of us!! Peace to you my dear uncle!! Xoxo. Brenda
