Beloved Eddie
Our Dear Sims Family,
We lost a brother tonight;
Though we’re decreased by one,
He’s only outta sight.
Now he hears for himself,
Each poem and song sent;
He fought such a hard battle,
So when the angels came he went.
It’s true we love our Brother,
We go to his studio and listen to each song;
It’s sad, but for now,
He had to tell us all so long.
Our Brother was loved by All,
He didn’t know the word hate;
When the time comes that we reach Heaven,
He’ll meet each of us at the Gate.
It’s true our Sims Family Hearts,
Break in two on this sad night;
But Eddie had no choice,
He grasped Jesus’ hand as he went to the light.
Tonight Eddie beckons down to us,
Not to cry but remember his zest for life;
He pleadingly says My Family Please,
In remembrance of me just take care of my wife.

Good By Eddie
Amid a band of angels,
his soul ascended on high.
Just his broken body,
was tho only thing to die.
As a brother, we will miss him.
He was part of our music, after all,
but he had to put down his song,
so he could answer a higher call.
I do not think he would want us to grieve,
he would want us instead, to celebrate his life.
The only thing he would ask of us,
is to continue to send our prayers to his wife.
As we wonder what we need to say,
we know his soul was truly ready.
So until the right words come to mind,
I'll just say, We miss you Eddie.

The Things I Wish I Could Say
By: Laura A. Neff – © 2005
The things I wish I could say,
Are too numerous to tell you.
Now you’ve gone far away,
And I have so much to do.
I find the hole in my heart,
Is much wider than before.
Now we’re so very far apart,
Not knowing what is in store.
Tomorrow is forever too late,
And yesterday has already been.
Our world now a shattered plate,
As our hearts remember when.
The things I wish I could say,
Never truly reflect my heart.
The pain within a price I pay,
Right from the very start.
It is so hard to say farewell,
Until we are together again.
Pennies in a wishing well,
Help us remember then.
As the tears fall from my eyes,
And my heart would break.
I remember that when one dies,
Heaven is theirs to partake.
The things I wish I could say,
Are many more than you see.
Maybe to come another day,
For the future that would be.
A wish and hope I leave here,
Upon this page so long.
As we shed each painful tear,
Remember all in song.

Let's Talk About Our Wonderful Friend Eddie
I would like to say that I Rev. Teresa "WolfPoet" Piercey-Gates had the HONOR of being one of Eddie's minister's, friend's, as well as last people to ever speak with him. Making this page is one of the hardest things I have ever had to do. I do it with Honor however because I loved Eddie very much. He was a wonderful loving man. He was a great Husband, Father, Grand Father and Friend. The last thing Eddie said to me was "Tell everyone THANK YOU & I LOVE THEM" Eddie will remain in our hearts forever. We can still see and hear Eddie sing at anytime and keep him alive in our heart by visiting his Studio.
Lyn my thoughts and prayers always remain with you my Love. I am here anytime you need me. Here is something Eddie asked me to give to you! Please know he sends it with love! He love's and misses you very much Sweetie!

~The Promise In A Rainbow’s Glow ~
A river of color flows,
Merging the shades;
Upward is where it goes,
Gravity it evades.
Feel the power,
Found in its wake;
Every hour,
Ours to partake.
Red the first we see,Hate, pain and fear;Orange is next to be,Anguish living here.As for what conceals,Cowardice in yellow;This merely reveals,Peace a green meadow.Violet in a sunset scene,A vibrant view to me;Wondering what it would mean,In the time as yet to be.Last you see is indigo,Up in the clouds we are;Bathed amidst angel glow,See a throne afar.There we see heaven’s gate,The angel in the rainbow;And just beyond would wait,Someone we all should know.A voice beckons now,From beyond heaven’s bow;And the voice asked how,We couldn’t know.I am the promise,
Made so long ago;
Everlasting bliss,
By God’s rainbow.
