No more illness no more suffering just peace as someone so kind so thoughtful and so caring is deserving of. The world has lost a great soul and I have lost a special friend . Our family of friends is going to feel this loss forever. After all Eb who the heck is going to pick the Superbowl numbers
In life we are lucky to find good people with whom to surround ourselves.
There are so many of us that are beyond fortunate that we had Ebby as a huge part of our lives.
She brought so many of us together and was such a huge cornerstone in making us the incredible family that we shall forever be.
Eb, you helped lay the foundation for such an extraordinary and strong family of choice. For that we shall endlessly be grateful.
Though your soul no longer inhabits your body, it shall live endlessly in the hearts and minds of every soul you touched.
Rest in peace dear friend and sister of choice knowing that your spirit is everlasting.
