Eddie Sinclaidr Jr. passed away to soon for us all they say he commited suicide and I still can't understand why?
He was in the Union County juvenile detention center of NJ and wasn't there a full day when this happened. I had seen him that same day and told him I'd be back the next day Mother's Day and little did I know I would never see him again...

This was the day we could all see him to pay our respects. I had picked out a nice white suit with a red shirt to me it represented White for purity and red for the blood of Jesus. He looked sharp he would of liked that he always was into clothes. He had a White casket with Angels on the corners it was the perfect one to lay him in. 
Eddie knew so many people in his short time here that I was so surprised to see how full it was some of us had to sit on the floor and we had 2 rooms and they had to end up opening the bottom because the crowd was to much.
I had t-shirts made and his face was plastered every where I looked. His friends male and females alike were crying and supporting eachother in grief. 
I also put a box for the youngsters he knew that were in a gang to put thier colors in and we would make sure we put them with him later. Eddie was not in a gang but that didn't stop him from being friends with gang members in reality they are kids just trying to find thier way.
His friends stood up and talked about Eddie and his life and what he meant to some that it just broke me down. I never seen so many young boys cry so hard.

 

On this day we were to go to the funeral parlor to say our last prayer and close his casket forever. 
There were many people here from all over family and friends alike. 
I wasn't ready to see his casket closed but, eventually it has to be done and it was....
They carried Eddie out and about 40 cars went to the cemetary to bury my handsome Eddie, it was crazy My brother Tito was all over the casket crying, Eddie's father and I were at our worse along with everyone else.
As they lowered Eddie into the ground we threw roses into the ground. His aunt Greta threw the colors from the box and slowly did I start to realize I will never ever live this life with him again.....

Eddie was born in Newburgh NY. I was 17 I went up to visit my sister Judy and I gave birth to a baby boy born June 25th 1985 at 10.34 am he weighed 7lbs 9oz. Eddie's dad was there and he was so happy to have a son. He went and bought cigars and candy lollipops that said, it's a boy.He also bought me a giant cookie that said congratulations and a hand puppy dog puppet for Eddie Jr. I still have that puppet today all my children played with it.
