Billie Catherine,
Read about Eddie in the Mooreland Leader. My heart is so sad for you. Having lost my brother, Ken, I know all the “sibling” memories that will come to your heart in the days ahead. Treasure them. I will always remember stopping at your house after school each day. Eddie was such a fun guy for us growing up. My prayers to you and your family.
Love,
Sharon
I just heard about Eddie’s death last night. It’s been many years since I have seen you but want you to know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers.
I have many fond memories of the church lot playing tin can alley, ballgames……memories go on and on and can never be taken away.
May God be with you and all of Eddie’s family.
Eddie Lee was a one of a kind person to work with. He made no decisions based on resentment. He went about the business following policy and procedures to the best.
Appreciate his fairness and concern.
God bless his family.
