Just ran across your blog and have read about your father. He was a GREAT man. Your mother reamins beautiful as ever. God blessed my life by placing your family in my life as we walk this life on earth. May God bless you and all your family. Elwin

How about every time he passed a mirror, he would say, “Who was that? Oh its just me, I thought it was a famous movie star.” Or he would begin to sing, “Oh Lord, its hard to be humble. . . . I will never forget his commitment to memorizing scripture and how it changed his life. There are so many memories that bring me a smile and a laugh. Daddy was an incredible man and only hope that I can instill in my children some of the same values he gave to me.

I was married to your daddy for almost 35 years.I can honestly say that it was never dull. We had fun, saw lots of beautiful places, enjoyed our family and God blessed us abundantly.
I believe that Eddie and Jay (our son) are enjoying heaven together and probably entertaining everyone there. Eddie loved the Lord, his wife and his children supremely. We were blessed to have him in our lives for the short time we had together.

I have the best picture of Daddy-showing his genuine, silly, open mouthed smiles. I will always remember the way he was with his only grandson, my son, Bryan. The memories of those two in the swimming pool singing “You Are My Sunshine” will be with me forever. They were buddies, often seen riding the trackor together with Bryan perched up on Daddy’s lap mowing the ‘lawn’. As he grew in the Lord-so did he grow to be a very gentle man. I miss him very much! (Hey-where are we going? To the Shomberg Show! To see the monkeys and the wild kangaroos, kangaroos!)

I loved your daddy — still miss him. I remember you calling us the night he died. He was a great Christian man and he will continue to be an influence on many of us in the ministry.
