What can I say about my brother, Eddie? He was the best man I ever knew! He was handsome,caring,loving& very witty! He had a great personality. Everyone that knew Eddie loved him. He was a great son,brother,husband,
father,grandfather,& friend. He loved life and people. He worked all his life and now I ask WHY? He died too soon. At the age of 55 you should be enjoying life! Cancer took him away from us. They say only the good die young and I truly believe it! He was the BEST! He loved family gatherings. Every Christmas Eve we would go to his house for our Family gathering. He opened his home & his heart to anyone that came. He loved Christmas! He knew we would all be there. He was the oldest of 7 children. I am the baby. There was 7 years between us. He was like a Dad to me instead of a brother. I went to him with all my problems & joys in life. He was always there with a shoulder to cry on and an ear to bend. I would go see him when I was felling so lost & sad. By the time I left there I was feeling so loved and happy. He was like the sunshine in our lives and now he is gone. This just goes to prove that God only takes the BEST! I miss & love him each & everyday! But I know he is with our Dad and he will come for me when GOD calls me home. I so look forward to that glorious day. Until then I will continue through life as God planned for me. I know Eddie is with me and watching over us all. Rest In Peace Big Brother!
I Love You So Much & Miss You Like Crazy!

5 years now

Eddie B. it has been 5 years today since you went to be with God. I can not begin to explain how much I miss and love you big brother. I know I have so much family and we are there to support each other but it is so hard to deal with losing you. You fought so hard to beat that cancer but in the end you just couldn't take anymore. I do understand your reasons for taking out your breathing tube. This was 1 last decision you got to make for yourself. I know Dad came for you..He had a home waiting for you. But Mom has really felt the heartache and loneliness of losing her first born child. I know this is very hard on all of us...but for Mom it is sometimes unbareable. I thank GOD everyday for the 48 years I had with you. Eddie I know you are with us more than we know. I can fel your presence and I see the signs you leave me. Mom knows you sit on her bed at night with her. She can feel your presence and she feels the bed sink a little. I only hope and pray you are now healthy and happy. We all love and miss you more than you could ever imagine

Happy Birthday Brother

Eddie I just wanted to tell the world how wonderful you truly are. Today is your birthday and you would be 60. This is so hard for all of us left here on earth without you. God took you way too soon. You were the oldest of us 7 children and it took Mom and Dad 4 long years before you finally came. This was the best day of their lives. But God took you away from us and we are having such a hard time dealing with the loss of you! Dad is with you and I know he is making your Birthday a memorable one but we miss you so much. You know the tears will be pouring in your memory today. Your children are still having such a hard time dealing with your death. Be with them today and some how let them know you are ok. Try to give them a little peace. You were such a wonderful son, brother, dad,uncle,grandpa and friend! Everyone will be thinking of you today on your 60th Birthday.. Happy Birthday big brother...You ain't heavy..you're my brother! I love and miss you more than you could possibly know. All my love..All my life...Your Baby Sister XOXOXOX

Ed 2010 is coming to an end and 2011 will soon be started. It is a time for new beginnings. I know you are here with me in spirit. I just wish I could have one more day with you. Not a day goes by that you are not thought of or spoken of. I miss you and Dad so much! It is not fair that we lost you both within 4 months. The day you pulled the vent tube out I knew you were ready to go and be with Dad and God. But..we were selfish and wanted to keep you longer than God had planned for you. I knew you had made peace with God and you were ready to stop fighting the cancer. Mom is in mourning everyday for you...her first born child. We all love & miss you more than you could ever imagine! I will see you in Heaven when Gad alls me home. I hope you come for me on that day. I Love & Miss You SO MUCH Big Brother! You taught me so much about life and how precious our time here on earth is. Please be with Mom and let her know you are with her...if only in a dream !
Happy New Year Eddie XOXOXO

MERRY CHRISTMAS EDDIE

Here we are and it is our 4th Christmas without you. We really miss our Christmas Eves at your house. You went out of your way to make everything so wonderful. You baked cookies,baked a ham, tuna ball, macaroni salad and all the other goodies. Your house was always so festive with all the lights and the tree. As you know we have Christmas Eve at Moms now. We speak of you all the time and on Christmas we talk about all the good times with you. Your children are growing and have children of their own. We all love and miss you so much Ed that it hurts. I hope you had a wonderful time in Heaven celebrating Jesus Birthday with him. I hope you made Dads birthday very special for him today. I love you so very much big brother and I know one day we will be together again.. XOXOX

Not a day goes by that you are not thought of or spoke of. You live inside our hearts and we are making sure everyone knows what a wonderful man you were...I miss you so much Eddie B! 2006 was the hardest year ever for us. We lost Daddy and 4 months later we lost you...then my mother-in-law died right before Christmas. I am truely blessed for having you as my big brother and for all the joy you brought into my life.

Hello Eddie B. I know you are watching over Tony and Stephanie and trying to console them from Heaven. I also know that your grandson, Eddie Boy Eagle II is in Heaven with you. I know you are rocking him and loving him. He is not alone. He was born and died yesterday. He lived for about an hour before you came for him. You gave your son a chance to hold and love him before you took him home to God. He was a premie. She was only 23 weeks pregnant and went into labor. The Dr. could not stop it because she was fully dialated. He weighed less than a pound. But he is in the best of care with you. Your son gave you the ultimate gift when he gave you his son. He said he knows you have him and you finally have the chance to hold your grandchild. He is finding peace in knowing that! I will do all I can to help them get through this since I have been through this myself. But we need your help also. We need to bury his little body and put him to rest. Stay with your son and help give him some guidance. We miss and love you so very much. Enjoy your grandson Eddie B. XOXOXOX

THEY TOOK THE BEST..
.......
**********************************************************************


TEARS OF SADNESS FILLS MY EYES
AS I GAZE TOWARDS THE MIDNIGHT SKIES
I WONDER WHAT MY ANGEL IS DOING RIGHT NOW
IN HOPE THAT IT WILL EASE MY PAIN SOMEHOW

**********************************************************************

TO SHOW ME SOME KIND OF SIGN FROM HEAVEN ABOVE
THEN SEND IT DOWN TO ME WITH ALL THIER LOVE
MAYBE A WHITE FEATHER JUST FOR ME
OR A BEAUTIFUL RAINBOW SO THAT ALL CAN SEE

**********************************************************************

YOU COULD BE A STAR SHINING BRIGHTER THAN THE REST
WHEN YOU WENT TO HEAVEN I KNOW THAT THEY TOOK THE BEST
THE BEST THING IN LIFE THAT WAS MINE TO LOVE
WENT AWAY FAR TO SOON TO BE WTH EVERY ANGEL ABOVE......
