My brother Eddie had the biggest heart. He was definitely put on this earth to be a servant because he has given so much of his time and love to help others, not expecting nothing in return. I’ve seen him help take care of two sweet souls during their last days. And he has stayed multiple times at night with mom during the week, when she had no one else to stay with her, even when he was in pain himself. He had so much love in him. I’m sure gonna miss him.
——Forever In My Heart❤️🙏
Love, Sis (Roberta)
