Michael,
You have been such an amazing role model and leader for our family. We have been so blessed to follow your lead. You are hard working, determined, smart and honest. Most importantly, you are a Godly man. You have been an example of what it looks like to walk with God. Your faith and relationship with the Lord are something I have admired so much in you. You are a true spiritual leader. Thank you for always challenging me in my decisions and my faith but also supporting me at the same time. You are intentional in your relationships and conversations and it makes you authentic. When I look at you, I see a man who is an amazing father and a husband. So thank you for showing me how a girl should be treated. Also, thank you for letting me love on your 3 little ones. They bring so much joy to life!
Love always,
Rachel
Michael B,
You are an amazing man and I could not have picked someone better for my sister. You are funny, kind, caring and personable. I love that you invest fully in the people that you meet and have a way of making everyone feel comfortable. I have absolutely loved seeing your relationship with The Lord grow in the past few years. I can’t wait to see it continue to grow and see how God continues to work through you and in you. I am so proud of you for taking on the role of spiritual leader in your family. Thank you for your sense of humor and always making me laugh. Thank you for letting me be part of your family on the weekends and sometimes stealing your wife to go do girlie things (I look forward to it every week). Thank your for trying to teach me how to play guitar 🙂 Your patience and encouragement are appreciated. Thank you for loving my sister and also letting me love on your 3 little ones. I adore them so much!
Love,
Rachie
Chris,
You have become an incredible man, brother, and husband. You are witty, hard working, and smart. It has been such a joy to see you go from a shy teenager to a man who goes out of his way to talk to people and make them feel comfortable. You truly have a gift! I love your love for Morgan. It has shown me and I’m sure lots of other people what love between man and wife should look like. I am so proud of the man you have become. Thank you for not only being my brother but for also being my friend. We may have grown up together and been in the same grade for a lot of our life but these post college years have helped us to develop a true friendship and I am so thankful for that. I can’t wait to see God’s plans for you in this next year.
Love,
Rach
Brynypop,
Wow… what a fantastic man you have become. You are genuine, sweet to the core, determined, and persevering. You know what you want and you set out and do all you can to make it happen. Your sweet nature makes it so easy to be around you. You would do anything for the people you love and they all know and appreciate it. It has been so fun to see the love you have for Brooks, Michael, Wade, Mary Mac, Anders, and Millie. They adore you and you are a natural with them. I love that you make all their sporting events and go play with them on a weekly basis. They are lucky to have you as their uncle and I have no doubt that you are going to make one fantastic father and of course husband (to Kaiti 
) one day. Thank you for your honesty, friendship and support. Trust in God’s plans for you because they are good!
Love,
Roch ***
G,
You my sweet little brother are growing into a truly astounding man. You are funny, creative, inventive and a bit of a free spirit. I love that you work hard but don’t conform to expectations. You have the ability to make people laugh in all situations (even when they might be mad at you). You are so loving and show the most affection of all the Eddy boys. This is a good thing… continue 🙂 You make people feel comfortable around you. You are also stronger than you think you are. Thank you for making life so much fun and interesting. Thank you for your hugs and forehead kisses. Thank you for always making me laugh. I can’t wait to see you graduate in May and watch you continue to grow. It is going to be a joy to see how God uses you and your gifts (trust in Him).
Love,
Reggae
You boys are incredible blessings. I am so thankful to God for making each of you my brothers. I am one fortunate girl. I will miss each of you next year but know that the race is exactly where God has planned for me to be. Thank you guys for believing in me and supporting me and trusting in The Lord. I love all of you so much!
