Faye you and the family are in our prayers and know Eddie will be missed by each of you but are so thankful for a gracious God who knows when the right time is to call someone home. We know that you took care of Eddie and did all you could do to make him comfortable during his sickness. May God bless you and the family with peace and rest as only He can give during these times.

so so sorry for you loss...i love all the Younce family....Bro. Ed would always sit out in the parking lot at church even when he did not or could not come in...He was a heroe of the faith and always managed to have a smile and a friendly word even when he was in terrible pain....He always spoke to me and once something funny was that I help the elderly and the handicapped sometime get to church....but never would park in the handicapp but pull in the front to help them out....one day he says hey you need to park here in the handicapp cause your fooling with that woman...referring to an elderly lady with a walker...it just struck me so funny the way he worded it....he will be truely missed as all the Younce family..have their own unique special way to express them selves...you are always in my heart and in my prayers....Sis.

Faye and Family, Ed was not only a Co-worker of mine but a Dear family friend. He was a caring friend whom my parents and myself loved and cherished. We will always remember his wit and energy and kindness not only to us but to so many over the years.
Thank you for all the good care that all of you gave to him in these past few years-
He loved all of you grandchildren, Faye, daughters, nieces, etc.....all of his family so much and spoke so lovingly of all of you over the years....Please always remember how much he loved all of you and only wanted the BEST for all of you - there will truly be a void now that he has gone to heaven to be with his Lord. Go rest in peace dear sweet Eddie-
