    Condolences to my Cousin Eddie’s family, Cuz you and I, and our other cousins, ran far and wide, and we had a lot of fun, doing so.Then, one young lady didn’t like one of my friends, and I told her I had a single cousin, and I lost a good running friend but,gained a beautiful female Couisn, Karen made your eyes light ups for she gave you all of herself to you, and you to her, Since then our time became, a little more challenging, but we still had fun. My one regret was I , left KC. To become a law enforcement officer, what a life we have had I have always missed you and truly regret not getting back with you and Karen.
    Rest In Peace Cuz, there will never be anyone like the two of you.
