I remember the great times we had on the weekends at the farm, especially - after Eddie had gone to the city to work for a bit, your mom saying to me while watching Eddie eat breakfast one Saturday morning, "Oh how I miss my garbage can! I never had leftovers when my Eddie was home." And he was just shovelling the food in and grinning. Those were good times. The last time I saw Eddie was at Jennifer's Remembrance, when I also met Shirley. We all shared some laughs that day, too. Please accept our sincere sympathy. - Posted by: Eleanor Hawthorne (Friend) on: Apr 07, 2005
