You have my deepest symphony in the loss of Eddie. I have a lot of wonderful memories of Eddie when we would come down to Des Moines and visit everyone.
He had a great sense of humor and I loved that about him. Again sorry for your loss, he will be missed. Wish we could have made it down for the service today.

We will truly miss such a wonderful dad and grandpa. We will miss his smile and great sense of humor. We will also miss the fishing stories. The grandkids have learned so much from you (especially the special 2x4). We know you are resting peacefully in that big house in the sky, you are missed and loved so much!

Missing someone gets easier every day because even though it's one day further from the last time you saw each other, it's one day closer to the next time you will.
