My dear Cousins I'm so very sorry for the loss of your brother and uncle. Cousin Eddie was a handsome; hardworking, fun; loving; caring; and reliable man. He loved his beautiful Momma and tried to make sure that she had what she needed. He tried to take away some of her worries. Cousin Eddie was my cool cousin that rode a sweet motorcycle. He was also a fellow war veteran. He and his sisters Pat and Sally were a part of Black History being some of the first Black students to integrate their local Virginia school. Mission accomplished Cousin Eddie you are relieved from duty with honor. Peace 🕊️ and love. My deepest sympathies. 💔🌹
My Condolences to the family. Eddie was a previous supervisor when we were employed under the Department of Justice, Eddie was a very stern and a very hard worker just wanting to get the daily work completed.
I will miss receiving your Christmas cards.
