"A true friend" to have met him for a moment would be a lasting gift and someone who'd give than rather receive. A friend is someone you give yourself a memory is something you cherish forever.
I truely appologize to family and friends I learned after his passing. Rest assure he was in my daily thoughts and prayers and if I had attended I would of asked Sharon and family for their permission to place a fork in his right hand stainless steel none the less nothing but the very best for Eddie. Let me fully explain my thought this would be explained that when you come to my home for a meal, and I remove your plate I would state "hang on to your fork" - "The best is yet to come" meaning a great dessert. In this case "every lasting true greatness" and I also want to light a candle to put in Eddies words if I may "I'll leave the light on" for you. So you will never stumble in life or fall. I am not gone, merely gone ahead to prepare a place for my family and friends to meet with me again. Let us bow our heads and say Thank You God for giving us the best gift in life. A person who loved you for who you were and never gave up. Take care everyone and Sharon and family and friends rest assue he loved you all. Do no cry and be sad but remember his smile and live each day to the fullest. =-) Dayle
