I was just out of 8th grade when my cousin Eddie was killed. As kids & cousins, Eddie, his brother & 2 sisters would have many get togethers with my sister and 3 brothers (family celebrations, July 4th fireworks). His funeral was so surreal it was the first death I ever experienced, and there were so many officers - seemed like thousands. When I saw him laying in his casket, I recall a neatly pressed tan shirt and placed my hand on his chest so I could feel if he was breathing (I so wanted to feel him breathing). All the family was in a terrible state of grief and shock. It was heartbreaking. Eddie was such a funny, kind, caring person
who is gone too soon & forever young. I know he is in heaven with many family, relatives and friends.
