I was Eddie and Brooke’s neighbor for two years. We shared a driveway, our kids played together, and we often had chats outside. I was a single mom at the time and Eddie ALWAYS checked in on me. He would catch me coming home from work and we would shoot the breeze for a few minutes. My mom passed from cancer a few years ago, so we would often talk about the hardships it brought. Without asking, Eddie would salt my steps and drive during the winter, EVEN when he wasn’t feeling well. He would bring in my trash can, move packages for me… just always so willing to help and to look after us just because. I am forever grateful for Brooke and her family, for the kindness they always showed us. Eddie is one of a kind, and I am thankful I got to know him for the short time I did. Sending all my love.
