I am deeply saddened by the passing of Mrs. Edwards, and send my deepest condolences to all her family. It was such a pleasure to know her and to witness the deep love and devotion she had for her family and friends. She was truly an inspiration, and I will miss her.
God picked her to be one of his angels like you pick a rose and she was our rose in life. I know she will be greatly missed but think of all the good memories you have of her and this will get you through this difficult time. I have great memories of her when I was growing up and now she is in a place where there is no more pain and she is watching over us. Elise, Emily, Clint, and Josh remember the good times you had with your grandmother and how much she loved you. Think of all the love she gave you and the fun times you had together and that you were lucky to have her in your lives. You will be in prayers.
Connie & Family – You have my deepest condolences. I am here for you. Most Sincerely, ~Delores
Connie, I have watched you over the years care for your Mom with all of your heart and soul. Now she is resting in heaven and saying “God, I have a faithful and dutiful daughter, please watch over her”. My sincere sympathy goes out to you and your family at the loss of your Mom. May you find peace in the knowledge that she suffers no more.
Connie, Family, Friends – My thoughts are with you as you cope with this sorrow. I’ve followed the ups and downs from near and far and was always impressed that this wonderful woman inspired so much love and loyalty from her family. Her spirit touched you all and I am glad to have a friend in her daughter who so obviously carries part of that spark of life. My thoughts, hopes and prayers are with you all at this moment.
Connie, Danny and Jimmy ~ As former neighbors, we want to let you know you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers on the loss of your Mom.
Dear Connie, Jim and Daniel We are so sorry we could not be with you during this trying time but we were there in spirit. I will always remember my talks with this most gracious lady and her knowledge of the Bible and politicss. There is no doubt in my mind that she is looking down on the caring children that were with her until the end. I know she is saying please don’t greive but rejoice because I am finally home waiting for you. God b less you and yours we love you Leo and Lilly
Mrs. Edwards obviously knew love and joy through her family and friends. The personal pictures and fond memories shared attest to that. My deep condolences to the family and all close friends. Connie, your mother had to know pride in who you are and calm in your loving support.
DEAR JIM, CONNIE, AND DANIEL AND FAMILIES: MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH EACH OF YOU AS YOU TRAVEL THROUGH THIS TIME OF SORROW AND HEALING. I THINK THE FOLLOWING, AS I KNEW YOUR DEAR MOTHER, WOULD FIT HER TO A TEE. SHE ALWAYS LEANED TO WATCH FOR YOU, ANXIOUS IF YOU WERE LATE, IN WINTER BY THE WINDOW, IN SUMMER BY THE GATE. THE LONG WAY HOME WOULD SEEM MORE SAFE BECAUSE SHE WAITED THERE. HER THOUGHTS WERE ALL SO FULL OF YOU, SHE NEVER COULD FORGET! SO I THINK THAT WHERE SHE IS SHE MUST BE WATCHING YET. WAITING TILL YOU COME HOME TO HER, ANXIOUS IF YOU ARE LATE. WATCHING FROM HEAVEN’S WINDOW, OR WHILE LEANING ON HEAVEN’S GATE. HOPE THIS SENDS A LITTLE COMFORT TO YOU ALL. LOVE, BILL
