Our deepest sympathy to your family. I meet Eddie when he came to Boston 56 years ago, he was close to my family and we were friends, he was a funny guy alway smiling, he helped me with my car many times, But I regret he never got to know his other son or grandchildren. May he rest in peace.
Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
