    Grief comes and goes like the tides. Sometimes serene and peaceful, just letting you gently float. Othertimes thundering and crashing so hard over you that you cannot catch your breath. I wish Carol and the family calm seas with the knowledge that there will always be someone standing by with a life preserver. No matter how long it's been it is still only yesterday. Aunt Diana

    My deepest condolences to you Carol and your family. I am so sorry to hear the loss of a special and kind friend Eddie. The man with a big heart and a wife with a bigger heart as Eddie. Those two were inseparable and their love showed to be so genuine. I admired them as a beautiful couple. God bless your family during this difficult time. Always know that your friends are here for you. Let me know if there is something I can do for you. Hugs! May Eddie rest in peace always. ♥️

    When Eddie Married Carolann, they had a wonderful Wedding, and we Cousins embraced Eddie with Love. When Kelly and Kathleen were born, our Cousin Circle expanded. We loved that Eddie would come with his family to our Patents Home in Southampton. I always loved Eddie for accepting all of us Cousins...as his Family! Rest in Peace my dear cousin Eddie! 😘❤️🙏🙏🙏

    I'll forever miss my friend that I shared so many memories with. From the VW campouts, the NASCAR text messages or just the weird things we would laugh about together. The world is definitely a less happy place today. Rest well, my friend. And I wish comfort to Carol and family.

    Ed had a huge heart and wanted every child to have a new toy for Christmas and Hanukkah. He had no patience for stupid and called it as he saw it. Ed and Carol had a special marriage and and we pray for her during this difficult time. Ed's sense of humor and holiday decorations will be sorely missed Love you my friend.
