I realize that my Eddie had a tremendous amount of friends and his share of girlfriends too. And thats the kind of stuff that makes us who we are. I am very happy that he had so many people write kind words about him. Thank you all! I think about Eddie all the time. And its unreal how much I hear our song on the radio and the memories come flooding through my mind over and over. Memories I will cherish for all of my life. Our song was -"Fooled Around and Fell in Love" And that my friends WE DID!!!!!! Hugs to all! DebPatty Brown (Salazar) (1975)
Happy Birthday Eddie, you and Danny are together having a blast. You two are on my mind.Patty
