The world is too quiet without your voice.
Just got done playing in Cloudcroft after work Papa Eddie...I shot 2 under. I know you were watching.
Uncle Eddie, my fondest memory will always be, you teaching me how to drive down the mountain from Ski Apache Resort. We both learned alot that day,like the smell of burning brakes and the cornering ability of 1985 Pontiac Bonneville. You never quit smiling, even though you didn't want to do it again. I only got to visit you a hand full of times but it was always a blessing when I got to visit with you. You surely will be missed.
Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
