I remember Uncle Eddie letting his daughter Nette and me drive his car down the street. We were only about 12 yrs old. HAHA. We did not get far!!!
I will light a candle. You will be missed Uncle Eddie. Love You Tina
I'm praying for the family. Lynette your dad was always so kind to me. He never kicked me out when I stayed over for several days.
He always made us laugh and when Mookie, Chris and Rae Rae were born he would sit at Bobbi's with them on the floor. He never made one more special than the other.
PRAYERS UP for our family!! May God continue to watch over us and comfort us. Love Katherine Hinton (sister) and Doris Cooper (Neice).
