There is nothing that I can say or do to take away the pain or bring you peace in your time of sorrow, but I will offer you and your family my heart felt condolences. I also offer you my prayers that in time the pain will easy and the memories of your HERO will carry you through each day and night. I want to thank your HERO, for his/her selfless act of becoming a member of the armed forces, his/her willingness to defend the United States of America, all that we hold sacred and for the sacrifice that will forever be etched in the memories of all those who knew him/her. Though tears can never bring him/her back, we hope that our tears express our gratitude for the sacrifice that he/she made and our sorrow at his/her passing. I believe for every fallen HERO there is a star shining brightly up above to remind us of the precious gift we were given.
Your mission on earth is complete and you are now a member of GOD’s Heavenly armed forces. Stand down brave warrior and take your rightful place in Heaven with all the HEROES who have passed before.
I made a special promise to LE RON A. WILSON, a dear family friend who joined the Army with three other friends, one of whom is my son (Le Ron was killed in action on 07/06/07 at the age of 18) on the day he was laid to rest as I touched his coffin, that I would never forget him nor would I forget those that gave their lives for our country before him, with him and after him and so when I came across www.legacy.com, I thought what a great way to keep my promise to Le Ron, so I will continue to leave tributes in each guest book until the day there is no longer the need to leave these tributes to a FALLEN HERO.
REST IN PEACE, HERO, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!

Linda- Continue to stay strong for the kids.I can only image how hard it is to have lost your husband a man that you've been united with for almost 20 years. I know that there's no words that will bring you the comfort and peace you need during this time. But I do know that you will get through this and will be able to smile at all the memories.
Tia- Stay strong for Shawndavia and know that when you graduate from college spring 2006 that will be an achievement that would have made your father very proud.
Shawndavia- Always remember that you will always be your father's "Baby Girl"

We had the pleasure of last worshipping with Bro. Edwards on 2/05/2006 as he attended services with us prior to returning to Iraq. We were delighted to have him and he said that he felt at peace and enjoyed that day. We hope that this will offer the Edwards family a sense of comfort and joying in knowing that he yet still held on to his spiritual roots. God Bless and our prayers are with you and his extended family here in Waynesboro, Burke County area as he was loved by many here.

The hardest task put upon me thus far in my life is to say "Goodbye", to my bestfriend. However on February 6th, 2006 you told me that this was not goodbye but instead we were only "pushing pause" until the next time. I am holding you to that and I will see you in Heaven. To the Edwards Family we must live each day in the famous words of Amos "Big Ezzy" Edwards. "Ezzy does it, do it Ezzy" one day at a time. Thanking God for your presence in my life and missing you dearly.
Peace and Grace,

Psalm 23
1
The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
2
He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters,
3
He restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
5
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
6
Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
This is a verse that I have found to be comforting to me during my husbands death. Remember that when it seems that no one else is round, God is still there with you! And he will be your rock!
My daughter,McKaLyne, and I send our heartfelt sympathy for your loss! God Bless this warrior, God Bless those whom serve freedom's cause! They are our true HERO's!!!!

To the Family of Sgt. 1st Class Amos C. Edwards:
My heart breaks again as I sign yet another guest book of another courgeous young man who gave his life so selflessly. We lost our son 12/1/05.
I know first hand there are no words right now that will bring you the comfort and peace you need. Just know that you are not alone. My heart, thoughts, and prayers are with you all as you mourn this loss. We don't know each other, will probably never meet, but will forever be united in the loss of our Heroes. We have, unfortunately joined a group, an ever-growing group of families in this situation. May God grant you peace and strength to get through this and be able once again to smile at a memory rather than have only the tears that flow so easily now. If you ever want to talk, I'm only an e:mail away. God Bless this courageous soldier and his family.
