To the Edwards Family,If death be only half as sweet as life I will not fear. I'll shed no tear nor will I ask my freinds to weep. But quietly go like melting snow upon a mountain steep really high.Go after gently on a breeze I'll drift among the trees like love as laughter echoing down the lane. For I will follow willingly the soft spring rain around the river's bend. If death be only half as sweet as life I will not fear to die. I love life so - I love life so.

May God continue to bless your family with love and affection because He will sustain you and give you what you need to servive.

To the Edwards Family, I am praying that you will feel God’s presence during your time of grief. And that you will know God’s love is surrounding you and that you will know His inner peace. For God cares so much for you and he will wipe away every tear you cry. You will never be alone for He will never leave your side. Wishing your family much love.

I could hardly believe that Marvin had passed. I personally feel a lost as he and I were of the "24" of Big Ike's grandchildren. He was a dear first cousin and will be missed. My sincere sympathy to his children and other family members
