We invite you to share your thoughts, tributes, and memories of Mr. McEady on our Tribute Wall.
Mac, Charles, the kids and I offer our deepest sympathy. We are so sorry to hear of Eric passing. It seems like yesterday we met in Belgium and both of us from GA, we became family and the kids became friends. From Belgium, Germany and back to NC. The kids became young adults and started their own families. Thinking of the mischief they got in, I smile because Eric always had the innocent look and being the youngest, we always knew he didn't do it. He is at peace and Love and Walter were waiting for him. So as we grieve his loss, they are rejoicing with each other in Heaven with God and we will meet them again. Our pray is for God to comfort you as only he can. Be Blessed ππ’ππΌβ Charley and Ola

Should you go first and I remain to walk the road alone I'll live in memory's garden, dear with happy days we've known in Spring I'll wait for roses red, when fades the lilacs blue, in early fall, when brown leaves call I'll catch a glimpse of you Should you go first, and I remain for battles to be fought, each thing you've touched along the way will be a hallowed spot I'll hear your voice; I'll see your smile, though blindly I may grope the memory of your helping hand will buoy me on with hope Should you go first and I remain to finish with the scroll, no length'ning shadows ahall creep in to make this life seem droll We've known so much of happiness we've had our cup of joy, and memory is one gift of God that death cannot destroy Should you go first and I remain, one thing I'd have you do; walk slowly down that long, lone path, for soon I'll follow you I'll want to know each step you take that I may walk the same, for some day down that lonely road you'll hear me call your name
