God healed him, just not the way we had prayed. Jesus called Eddie home early Friday morning, April 11th. He ran his race and it was a good one. He was a Godly man. He was soft spoken and a man of few words. He was filled with the Holy Spirit, God blessed him, his cup runneth over. He loved God, his family, and his church family and we loved him. He will be greatly missed and forever in our hearts.

Honoring Eddie as pallbearers will be Daniel Gallaspy, Frank Gallaspy, Taylor Gallaspy, Dillon Gallaspy, Kelvin Gage, and Larry Lehrer. Honorary pallbearers will be Gary Walker, Jerry Evans, and Dave Clark.
