    I am so sorry for your loss. Please accept my sincere condolences. Having a loved one pass away is one of the hardest things we have to deal with in this life. Please be assured that God does care and will remember your loved one. In times like these I find comfort from God’s word the bible. Revelation 21:4 is particularly soothing where God says” and he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” Please remember and cherish the memories of you dear loved one and look forward to the time when death will be a thing of the past- just as God has promised.

    I’m saddened to hear of Eddie’s passing. However, my heart warms to thinking back on crossing paths with him outside of Cottonwood or in the hallways; always with an enthusiastic greeting! His positive energy was absolutely contagious. My thoughts are with you during this difficult time. May Eddie’s warm spirit and memories keep you.

    I knew Ed very well when I worked at Cottonwood, Inc.in the ’90’s. I left there in 1998 but every time I would back to visit he would always remember me and it brightened up my day to see him. I’m sad to hear of his passing and I wish you strength and peace in the coming days. The picture (above) is how I will always think of him.

    Tim
