I miss you and my heart is broken in a million pieces but just for me big brother for I know you are in heaven with mom and I wouldn’t want you back home suffering . I really never thought you would go so quickly. You were one strong person dealing with so much at once. I know Jesus will tell you again we all love you and we will see you later. It’s not goodbye.
You taught me so much. To treat people kindly, to take care of family, to be strong but gentle. You taught me to love learning, you taught me all about finding happiness in the small things of life. You taught me the importance of hobbies and doing the things you love.
You may have passed, but you’re still here. You’re very much still here.
I love you, Uncle Eddie.
