Cousin Eddie, you will be missed by so many. You always had such a soft and gentle personality. You gave our family such a wonderful gift by researching and documenting our heritage. I still remember the day you and Emma were married. We made kleenex flowers for hours to decorate your car. Rest in peace. Your memory will always be with us.
Love,
Sylvia Redondo

We met Eddie and Emma sometime ago at a restaurant in El Paso, through the efforts of my brother in law Martin Medina. We had such a wonderful time, enjoying each others company. Eddie and Emma were such a wonderful couple. We agreed to see each other at their next trip to El Paso. Our condolences to Emma and the entire Ortiz family. God Bless. Ray and Marylou Medina Borrego.
