Mary Beth and family I'm so sorry for your loss I always remember him to be a real cool kid. Isn't it odd my brother Joe Mahoney has been dead 15 years as of the 25th. And if I'm not mistaken you and Eddie were as close as Joe and I were so I definitely feel your pain. Just now you and your family are in my prayers....
