Thanks guys, I just about lost it lokoing for this.

I really cuoldn't ask for more from this article.

Honey, I will love you always and forever. I have spent these past days talking to Billy who has been a great comfort as has Kim and Hubert and his family. I was honoured to meet all of your new friends as they shared stories and memories of the good times they shared with you. My mind is filled with loving memories of all of the good times we shared, the laughter, the love...and I miss you so very much. Thank you baby for loving me, for sharing your life with me, for being there when I needed you the most. Blessed be my sweet...until we meet again. Love Cathy

I will miss those sat morning phone calls from you, your greetings of hello bro was the beginning of many shared stories from past to present you would always ask me had i spoken to anyone from the family you would name each one, We spoke about our growing up in the Mississippi Delta, and how what we had experinced help to shape our lives, Or how you would sing all those songs we would hear on the radio and me and our sisters would be the band and backup for you, So even at the age of 9 you showed a depth of understanding way beyond those years, You always saw the best in everyone, We could talk to each other and you would think of it and i would finish the sentence that would get us laughing. I know you wouldn't want me to be sad but i can't help missing you brother.

I have heartfelt sympathy for the Anderson family.The loss of Eddie is tremendous. I only knew him a few short months and although I have a hard time expressing to you how i feel its simply awful I also feel it was not his time to leave. Eddie had a lot of plans one being another farm,I dont think we could have done it, My health is not good and I feel i would do good to last a few more short years . I THINK WHEN HE SEEN ME HE THOUGHT OF ME BEING ROBUST COUNTRY WOMAN. I he never knew what internal pain I suffer daily. Twenty years ago I BECAME ILL WITH EPSTIEN BAR SYNDROME LATER ON I SUFFERED FROM CHRONIC FATIGUE. I NEVER THOUGHT IT WAS FAIR TO KEEP HIM TIED DOWN TO A SICK 'old woman'I NEVER THOUGHT OF IT BEING BAD TO SPLIT UP I THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD THING FOR BOTH OF US. I KNEW HE WAS NOT WELL AND PERHAPS THIS WOULD HELP HIM TO LIVE A HEALTHIER LIFE STYLE. I COULDNT LOOK AFTER HIM. MY SISTER GOD BLESS HER SOUL IS VERY MUCH IN WORSE CONDITION NOT FAIR TO HER TO DO ANY THING SHE HAS HEPITITIS C AND CURRENTLY GOING THROUGH LIVER FAILURE.AND HAS CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE. WE ARE NOT WELL AND I HOPE THAT YOU CAN HAVE MORE UNDERSTANDING ABOUT HOW THIS ALL CAME ABOUT. I was never into money . Then i found out about CATHY. for what ever reason i think MR. EDDIE ANDERSON SHOULD HAVE STAYED HOME AND MADE A LIFE WITH THE WOMAN WHO LOVED HIM WITH ALL HER HEART ,CATHY WAS HIS FAMILY, ALTHOUGH THIS IS IS PLACED IN THIS STORY SECTION IT IS NOT A STORY THIS IS REALITY...LOVE YOU ALL WISHING YOU HEALING AND GOOD THOUGHTS.

{A note to my Uncle Smokey} Dear Uncle Smokey, I love and miss you so much. Your love and spirit will always have a special place in my heart. I will miss hearing your loving voice on the other end of the phone. When I was sad or overwhelmed about life, you always knew the right words to say to make me smile again. You were always just a phone call away and although I lived in Florida and New Orleans and you were in Canada, you made me feel you were right there beside me. You always greeted me with a Hello Dear and I long to hear your voice right now. I just miss you so much and I hope you know how much love I have in my heart for you. I know that during our loss you wish we all close to hold each other to celebrate your life and the joy you have given us all. We planned on having a family reunion so we could all come together to share our love for each other and although we have not had that opportunity this is an opportunity for us to let you know how much you mean to us. I was looking forward to your home cooking at the reunion. I remember you getting the package of New Orleans's seasoning and how excited you were to cook with them. I want you know that you are a rare gem and your sparkle has been a light we all have enjoyed. Your soft kind voice and loving ways is one reason we love you so much. My only wish is if I had one more chance to hug you and let you know that you are a very special person in my life. When I came to your home and saw the pictures and card I sent, I only wish you could have me there in stead. I love you so much Uncle Smokey. You are forever a part of me and my family. Your body maybe gone, but your spirit is still alive in my heart. I always smiled when you called me Lena, because you were the only person that called me by that name. You will be missed. Love forever, (Lena) Nina Goode

I would just like to share with you the love and the care that Smokie gave to me . I work as a personal support worker and I have trouble with my legs at night major cramps I could of many times ended in the hospital the pain was excruciating HOWEVER you spell the word)ONE CRAMP WOULD END AND ANOTHER WOULD START AND SMOKIE WOULD APPLY HOT CLOTHS AND PLACE ON MY LEGS I COULDNT STAND THAT PAIN. NO MATTER HOW LONG THE PAIN WAS HE NEVER GAVE UP ON FREEING ME OF THAT MISERY, I always got those cramps from working on the cement and it always seemed that they would always put me there at work ...that night I would SUFFER . SMOKIE WAS A GREAT NURSE I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE HE GOT THAT TALENT I CANT SAY ENOUGH GOOD THINGS ABOUT HIM.HE WAS NEVER EVER MEAN AND HE NEVER HIT ME EVEN ONCE. THAT IS WHAT LOVE IS

you were the comical one Smokie, I can remember our first date . Went fishing you came from the place where you were living slow stepping big smile on your face, You got into my van..I INSTANTLY became aware of that smell of aftershave wow was it ever strong..and you had this look of confidence on your face...until asked where your fishing pole was ...hated to do that but we were going fishing and definately needed a pole.and you almost left I told you we had a lots of poles...and you told me later that you had loaned that pole to a friend . That was always your way,.WE went to Waterford ponds where you caught the first fish (BASS) and I still never caught one . So i suggested lets go to PORT DOVER I caught a big catfish,sister caught a catfish i was disgusted since i like to catch fish with scales it was always my experience that once you got a catfish on your line nothing else would be caught but catfish. SO OUR LINES GOT tangled up and it was a mess I suggested we go to another spot Delhi they have trout there .IT was always my desire to get me one of those trout and it just killing me not to of got one of those fish.ONCE I SAID LETS GO THERE YOU BECAME A LIL UPSET BECAUSE IT WAS ALREADY 200 am in the morning but that is just how I am and you were as you were and you said we needed to go home.because it was so late and you were tired.Well so was I and I DID NOT WANT TO GIVE UP. but i did give it up we went had coffee at timmies sister Jay and Lisa we sat about. you asked about me and what i was about and some personal information was exchanged and i could tell that you knew you were in like flin and i liked that too..On the way home I seen you in the rear view mirror and you were watching the Golden GIRLS ON VAN TELEVISION. just seeing you there made me happy. We had many days like that...fishing was our passion.

Smokey you have been a dear friend for many years and will be greatly missed by me and my family. Rest easy in the arms of our saviour my dear friend

I will miss the sat morning phone calls from you, you would always greet me with Hey Bro! it always made me feel like you were right in front of me, We laughed about how you would think of something and i would say it, What a team you and i.

I miss watching Jerry Springer with Smokey, and also the Maury Show, always a gentleman, and a gentle man, he was a rarity in today's society.
