Eddy was the first friend I made. The yard between our houses was our jungle when we were Tarzan and our wild west when we were cowboys and Indians. The year we both got bow and arrows for Christmas, we played till our fingers were raw. Thank you for all the adventures Eddy, I'll never forget you.

My thoughts and prayers are with each of you. I remember Eddy with fond memories, of his being a piano student, when I lived in Etowah. Rely on the Lord and He will see you though the tough days. Love and prayers, Lorraine Lambert Covington, Indiana
