To all of Eddie's friends and family,
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making the First Annual Eddie Memorial Golf Tournament such a special day.
The memories shared, the stories told, the laughter, the respect, and the overwhelming love shown for Eddie left me truly in awe. Seeing so many people come together to honor him was a beautiful reminder of just how many lives he touched.
The support you showed my family means more than I can put into words. Every hug, every kind word, every shared memory, and every person who took the time to be there helped make the day unforgettable.
Eddie would have loved seeing all of his favorite people gathered together, enjoying each other's company and celebrating life the way he always did.
I would also like to extend a very special thank you to Randy Miles, Terry and Joanne Kemp, Ricky Binkley and Josh Butterfield. Your hard work, support, encouragement, and countless hours spent helping organize this event meant more to me than you will ever know. I could not have done this without you, and I will always be grateful for everything you did to help make this day so special.
As I looked around yesterday, I saw what Eddie's life was really about—not golf, not trophies, but people. The love on that course and among all of you was his true legacy. Thank you for reminding me that he will never be forgotten.
I love each and every one of you for showing up, for showing your support, and for surrounding our family with so much love. Thank you for helping make the First Annual Eddie Memorial Golf Tournament a day we will cherish forever.
With all my love and gratitude,
Kimberly Hayes
