Cousin, all I know is that from the time that we moved to Michigan, you and Cousin Phyl were nothing but nice, kind and polite to us. My mom even reminded me of a recent encounter with you at store where you all took off masks to see who was calling her "Cousin" and it was you with that smile that you often displayed. Rest on and you can't crown Him until I get there so while you rest, just wait for the rest of us. Much love to ALL of you and I pray the you would allow the Almighty God to strengthen you during this transition.

To Phyllis and Family, Eddie will truly be missed. He was the epitome of an old school gentleman. He was caring, kind, and considerate. Whenever you saw him, he was wearing a smile. Eddie was there for my family when my husband and son passed. We had the utmost respect for him. He was a true friend, and we will never forget him. You loved Eddie, but God loved him best. You are in our thoughts and prayers. RIH my good friend.

Eddie was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, son, brother, uncle, and friend who loved his family. Phyllis my dear sister, and my nieces and nephews may you be comforted by the outpouring of love surrounding you. When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure. Eddie will be that treasure that lives in your hearts forever.
