Dear Frank, Mona, Caryn and family,
Our family has been coming into your jewlery shop for over 30 years. When I came in today, I was so shocked and saddened to hear about Eddie. He was always smiling and sharing stories of his family with me. He was so proud of all of you and talked about all the accomplishments and what everyone was doing. He never forgot to ask how my children were and how my family was. We will miss his easy nature and smiling face. Please accept our deepest sympathies and hope that his memory will comfort you all at this difficult time.
Our thoughts are with you all,
The Taksin Family

Dear Frank and Caryn,
Tom and I have only just learned that you have lost Eddie. We were simply stunned and so very sad, though we know our pain cannot approach that which you and all of the rest of your family are experiencing. Eddie was just a joy, such a fine part of the Frank Bender Jewelers team, such a sunny and upbeat human being. He always asked how we were, remembered the details of our last conversation, checked on the children, had very specific questions to ask. And always with a positive and encouraging comment. I cannot imagine walking into the shop and not hearing his voice, seeing his face; how simply awful.
Again we apologize for being so slow in sending these thoughts; we only just heard. You have our deepest sympathies, our condolences, our best wishes for holding all the good memories you have, and our hope for some form of peace and understanding. Our hearts go out to you all.
Barbara and Tom

Dear Caryn, Girls, Frank & all the family:
We have been in shock since we found out about Eddie's passing.
Time has flown since those early days of kid soccer, Hebrew carpool and high school dances. What a coincidence, after many years of not running into each other, to end up in Bender Jewelers, once again seeing Eddie's always-smiling face and unmistakable voice! He was truly a gem of a person, and we will surely miss him.
Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with all of the family now, and we hope that your cherished memories give you each a sense of peace.
