Dianne, I just spoke with Della. She gave me the sad news! I am so deeply sorry for your loss. My prayers are for comfort for you, Melanie, Scott and their families. Eddie was a wonderful man and he fought for many years. Now his body is healed and he is rejoicing with our Lord. My prayers are with you all and I will talk to you soon. Deepest Sympathies.
Dianne and family,
Please know all of our family are thinking of you. Dianne, you’re always there for everyone else and I know your friends and family are anxious to be there for you during this hard time. What a proud Grandfather, Father and Husband, Eddie was. One of my favorite quotes from my Aunt Honey that gets me through the toughest of times is, “Our lives are richer because of the friendships we have made, the traditions we have established, and the memories we will cherish forever.” What a legacy he has left. Sending you all of our love. -Ann, John, Trent & Lane
Having known Eddie for 60 years it will be hard to imagine him not here.He was always a fun guy to be around.This world is a better place because he was once with us.Blessings for all his family at this time.
Prayers for all the family.
Dianne, Scott and all your family I think you know how much Eddie meant to me. I have always had so much respect for Eddie and he always treated me with the same. It really touched my heart for you to allow me to visit Eddie in your home. I will always treasure that short and sweet time I was able to e with him and his family. If you ever need me for anything please let me know May God give you peace as only he can. Love y’all.
So sorry to hear about Eddie’s passing. I work with both he and Scott at G.M. May God comfort you all during this difficult time.
So sorry to hear about Eddie passing. I was out of town and did not get back in time for his visitation. I have some wonderful memories of working as supervisors together at General Motors Parts. He and I made supervisor at the same time.
You all will be in my prayers.
I am so sorry for your loss. God is the source of life and an enemy of death. His Word can help strengthen us during difficult times like this. Acts 24:15 gives a wonderful hope of a resurrection for those we have sadly lost in death. May God provide comfort and peace to the family.
