Eddie was so patient and kind to me. I was going through some hard emotions a few years ago and she listened and cared about what I was going through without judgement of me. She shared her own experiences with me and shared with me the things that were heavy on her heart over the last few years. I think my mom would be proud that I was able to give Eddie a bit of comfort in her last weeks. My mom (Linda Tilley) thought a lot of Tony (her nephew) and Eddie both. She called them the Ken and Barbie of the Tilley Clan. My deepest sympathies to the entire family for your loss of Eddie. She was a beautiful soul. Her last weeks were full of terrible pain I dont think anyone deserves that level of suffering. 12 years of battling 3 different cancers is an awful lot of misery for one person to experience. May she find peace in heaven with the loved ones gone before her. Im praying for all of her family here on earth to find peace in their hearts through the love and support of their family and friends. God be with us all.

To Edies family,...my deepest sympathy. I spent many childhood adventures with her. Although, I hadn't had contact in recent years , I felt blessed to visit with her last year at Terry's funeral. She was a very sweet individual.
