Obituary

It is with a heavy heart that I tell you all that Eddie passed away on June 6th, after a 13 year battle with bladder cancer. He never showed that the battle was hard for him. He always said chemo is a "Walk in the Park". He never missed a gig, or a lesson with a student until a couple of months ago. He woke up every day with a smile on his face, and lived life the way God asked him to. He also said "having cancer is okay, because God is using it for His glory". It gave Eddie the opportunity to tell everyone about Jesus. I am so proud of this man. He was a gift from God. Not many people find their soul mate in this life, but God Blessed me with mine these 32 1/2 years. I love you my Edward!
