Hold onto the memories - the man who made you laugh, cry and get angry. But all the same, he was loved. I will miss your sense of humor and how your quick wit in situations made me laugh. My prayers are with the whole Dunleavy family that they may find the peace and comfort they need during this sad moment in time. He is with his family in heaven and I'm sure they were happy to have him home. I will miss you Eddie, you will forever be in my heart.
