Miss u every day
Eddie, you will be missed by a lot of people especially by the grandchildren. You will always be remembered by your piano playing. There's not anyone that can play it as good as you. I will never forget how you would sing the Lighthouse. I had always enjoyed hearing your wonderful voice. May you rest in peace with our wonderful Lord.. God Bless You !!!
What a wonderful man and great musician.

Our sincere sympathy.
I was just barely a teenager the last time I saw Eddie and Christine. We were at the church in Crystal Hill. Eddie played the guitar and sang, "Me and Jesus Got Our Own Thing Going".
I know he will be greatly missed.
May the LORD be with you all. Always try to think of the Eternal Life, after this Life which will be a better place.
May GOD Bless you all.
