Eddie, you will be missed by so many. An Angel taken from us too soon. I hope you are singing with the other angels and blessing them with your beautiful voice and heart. I can't believe you are gone, but I know you are in a better place. May you walk in peace and grace all with your presence the way you did with all of us. I miss you so much.
Love,
Erin

Ed had the best personality I can ever
remember. He was in my store 10 years ago and remembered 1975 like it was yesterday. Way too young!! You were a good soul!
