I was the Director of Health Services of the Richardson Independent School District. Mr. Whitman was such a wonderful man and we worked so well together on behalf of the children of Texas. I remember one time when he came to one of our big meetings (about 70 nurses) and I remember telling all my nurses that Ed and I had both worked for so many years that "we grew up together"
I have such fond memories of this patient, skillful and generous man.
My sympathy for the loss of Mr. Whitman.

Dear LeTanya and Family,
I have recently learned of your father's death in January and want to share my condolences. I recall meeting you perhaps at the 2019 NASN conference in Colorado. You have done a great job following in his footsteps.
Your dad was truly a friend of school nurses. He was a joy to visit with. He has quite a repertoire of various talents and gifts. What a wonderful man.
Our organization truly appreciates his gifts of generosity and gentle, gregarious personally as he invited us to share what SNs need and visit with our colleagues. Both through NASN and NASSNC over the many years of visiting with him at conferences we learned of trends and shared what we anticipated in the coming year. But it was his delightful presence that I remember the most.
Thinking of you as your family adjusts to his empty chair and the many memories that you have to tell,
with care, Sharonlee Trefry MSN, RN, NCSN, Past President, National Association of State School Nurse Consultants, Hinesburg, VT
Thank you for the love you have shown to me and my kids. Even though, we might not have talk nor seen you on a daily basis but just to know that your were my great uncle Eddie. You most definitely was a father figure to us. I will miss your laugh, one you heard it we said THATS UNCLE EDDIE!!!! Thank you for showing Terrence and Tierannye a true definition of a man, husband, mentor, Man of God.
Love you dearly!
Terelyn, Tierannye, Terrence
Dear Aunt Faye,
I truly admire the love that you and Uncle Eddie shared. I will miss coming over and the first thing we would ask is "where is Uncle Eddie"?, and you would say he's in his back office. He would come from the back with a big smile and greet us, saying " Your Auntie has me locked up in the office", or he would say coming from the garage "I'm back your Auntie sent me to the store, because the Ruby Mae group is coming". Well that office wasn't just for business, planning his vacation time with you/or Family events. It was his sacred place, where his Heavenly Father called him home. I will miss that white jacket, and black tie, like the Vegas group Sammie Davis/Martin look. His suspenders now has white beautiful wings attached to them and his black tennis shoes are walking on pavements of gold.
You know the Ruby Mae group, will always have your back and love you both dearly. Thank you for sharing our Great Uncle that filled our hearts with love and laughter... He will truly be missed but never forgotten.
We (I) love you dearly!
Sincerely,
Cherelyn 'Sheri" Freeney

Memories From GGGL Family Reunion was from the “Generation of Love” with grateful hearts.
Memories and love from GGGL ( Gregory, Giddings, Green, Lockridge) Family. Eddie was a major committee member of our family reunion. He made sure each meeting we had something to eat and drink, that our 100’s of displays were transferred and stored. He was out accountant, but his priceless position we called was “first chair security”. When you entered every reunion he was the first person who greeted you will a amazing welcome. Eddie job well done you will truly be missed.
My dear uncle Eddie. You were the joy in so many people's lives but especially in mine. Your smile was infectious. You will truly be missed. You are one of our guardian 👼 Angel's now. R IH
Love you❤️🙏
We were so thankful for our loving Uncle Eddie who always greeted us with love. We will miss the “hey you guys”, “you guys ok”, “you guys need anything”, he was always concerned about others. Rest well Uncle Eddie you truly earned your crown. Aunt Faye, Tannye, Gerard, Kevin we’re here for you with lots of love. Cheryl (Bunkie) McLemore and family.
Uncle Eddie, you were a man of love, kindness and a man of god. I remember when I was just a kid at the Family Reunion coming up too you giving me a big hug with all the love and joy that you gave me, knowing you gave me a word of god remembering the you saying in Philip 4:13, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. That was the last words that you gave me when the lord called you to be with him. But I know that your in a better place Uncle Eddie, hearing you singing My Way by Frank Sinatra, But Uncle Eddie I love you and I’ll make sure Aunt Faye is taking care of, aging love you and I’ll see you on the other side. Love Terrence
