A Happy Day

Today, somewhere in Heaven, two guys are having birthdays...

Eddie's Great Great Grandpa Edward Koops...

and Eddie's Papa Steve Sluiter

These two are Eddie's namesakes.  They shared a LOT, so it was only fitting that they shared Eddie.

And last year on their birthday...
Eddie was baptized in Papa Steve's baptismal outfit.

Just because they aren't around anymore,

doesn't mean they aren't around anymore.

We celebrate their birthdays by remembering the good times...

The love of a father and a son...

has been passed on and is celebrated again.

Today, somewhere in Heaven, someone is cracking a Busch Light and eating peach pie...

and smiling down on us and on Edward Steven Sluiter.
