Eddie was my sweet little helper in children's church back in GK, Germany. I remember Eddie as an amazing little boy always smiling and offering to help me with whatever I needed. He was always around! I mean always! I remember his kind loving heart and his infectious smile. Not to say he wasn't a normal little boy who would hide in the back room at the chapel with my son who was a year older and then jump out and scare the bejuzus out of me! then they would both laugh and run off! I was stationed at Gk for 12 years and had come across many people and children-being the Children's church coordinator for most of that time. But no one touched my heart like Eddie did! He is one of the faces I always remember when thinking back to that time in Germany. His love for God even at that young age really touched me. and the fact that he made me laugh ALOT! when I finally left Gk I remember having a dinner at one of the local restaurants and people came to say farewell to me and my family. I remember when it got to Eddie's family to say goodbye he teared up. and came and gave me a huge hug.Now remember he was only about 6 years old at the time. that made me really start crying. He was a big part of Germany that I would miss- along with the whole family! I love you Judi and no matter what -you are my sister in Christ and I am here for you.
I still live in Germany-just a different part. i wish I could be there with your family, this Saturday! but I will be spending the day praying for all of you.
I know that Eddie may not remember me..I was just a blip in his life, bet I have always remembered him and will continue to treasure that time with him.
I don't have any pictures,i looked but I have many memories in my mind! I wish I could share those with you.
I pray for you and your family and Eddie everyday -since i have heard the news. Eddie you will always be in heart and I can't wait to see that beautiful smile again someday!
