Eddie had a life filled with adventure, as he was always on the move. Moving many places in his life time. He was often found behind the wheel travelling and visiting loved ones on his travels. Never knowing where or what the day had planned, often left word of “we will see what happens” when asked where he was off to. When visiting with family and friends he enjoyed playing the guitar and laughing. Taking pride in playing the guitar and bass, later years attempting to learn how to play the fiddle.

The time is now

by: Edward Stevens

If you are ever going to love me,

Love me now, while I can know,

The Sweet and tender feelings,

Which from true affection flow.

Love me now

while I am living.

Do not wait until I’m gone

And then have it chiseled in marble

Sweet words on ice cold stone.

If you have tender thoughts of me.

Please tell me now.

If you wait until I am sleeping,

Never to awaken,

There will be death between us,

And I won’t hear you then,

So, if you love me, even a little bit,

Let me know it while I am living

So I can treasure it.

There are things in life that, once lost can never be found again.
