My Dad was the most amazing Dad. His children besides my stepmom he would absolutely do anything for. Well I should say his sister also and whole family and friends. I was first born so many fond memories. He taught me many things about animals, cultures,also how a man should treat a woman. A man of his word! He was a monster and always wanted to make everyone smile and it's right he would light up. He had alot of aches and pains and still he would not let on how bad. He did not want others to worry. God bless him and he loved the Lord. I know he is at peace and not in pain. Till we meet again my Daddy! Rest in Peace.

My Uncle Eddie was such a kind and loving person who lit up when he made someone laugh. When I was a little girl, maybe 8 or so, he teased me for days before my birthday that all he could afford to give me was a Q-Tip. I knew he was teasing and I loved it. Well, on my birthday, inside the card he gave me, was a Q-Tip!! He chuckled pretty good because it made me laugh. I have no idea what my actual gift was because for me the gift truly was the Q-Tip and all the loving teasing and giggles that came from it. My Uncle always made me feel loved and I will always miss him. RIP Uncle Eddie. I love you

My brother was 7 years older than me, so we argued and fought like most brothers and sisters. I was the one with the most temper, and he would just laugh at me which made me madder! As we grew up, he was like a teacher to me. Telling me about snakes, and birds and all sorts of ways to help even heal little animals that had some
misfortune. He was the smartest person I have ever known. My first friend, my teacher, my protector, and a great prankster! In the last years we enjoyed sharing our memories of our life. I will always miss him and his hand drawn crazy cards he made for me. He was always loved and always will be. Eddie rest in peace
