 “Angels come to the earth to live. They never take; they’re born to give. You’ll not find their treasure here. They only came because we need them near. The soul they carry is their gold. It can’t be bartered, wasted, or sold. Eddie’s gift will forever be the memories he left for you and me.” A poem by his sister, Fern Lineback.
