Those special memories of you

will always bring a smile,

if only I could have you back

for just a little while.

Then we could sit and talk again,

just like we used to do,

you always meant so very much,

and always will do too.

The fact that you're no longer here,

will always cause me pain,

but you're forever in my heart,

until we meet again.

The family of the late Ezell Eaddy, Sr. would like to thank you

for kind acts during this difficult time.

Happy are those whose strength is in you, in whose heart are the highways to Zion.

As they go through the valley of Baca they make it a place of springs…

The go from strength to strength.
