Dear Judy, Shana, Kyle, and Crystal-- I'm sorry for the loss of your brother, uncle and father, respectively. I hadn't known of his passing until today, after I saw someone who looked like him, leading me to do a Google search for his name. I would often see Eddie when we lived across the street from each other over there on Richmond Ave., and when I used to shovel snow for his mom. My mom had grown up with Judy being a best friend, and my three sisters and I have some great memories that our mom shared with us about the 'good ole days.' Judy is family; which means all of you are family. Because family is about memories had--memories shared, and memories to be made. All of you are in my prayers, and Eddie is up there enjoying the days, infinity with my mom, and everyone else.
