Dear Sis. Edwards,

I am so grateful for the example of true faithfulness modeled by you and your husband. Please be assured of the love and prayers of our family during this time. We mourn with you for your loss, but rejoice in the knowledge that it is only temporary! May God's comfort and sustaining grace be yours.

With love,

To the family of Bro. Edwards,
We have fond memories of you from Hobe Sound days. When Anita and I were married, the Mission gave us the use of a little yellow VW, a gift from Bro. Edwards to the Mission. It has been so good to reconnect with Darlene here in Taiwan. Love and comfort from the Father to you all. Bradley & Anita Halter

Dear Sis. Edwards,
Sorry for your loss. Your husband was a holy man. Glad for the 2 yrs of re-connecting in AZ with the two of you. Oh, how he must be enjoying heaven! Heaven, with the Lord he loved and served so faithfully.
May that same Lord sustain you in these days of adjustment.
In Christian Love, Martha & Edgar Bryan

Oh, Dear Sis. Edwards, we just received the news of Bro. Edwards home-going to Heaven! Our family has shed some tears, for we will surely miss our "Grandpa Edwards" but how happy we are that he won't have to suffer anymore on this earth. We love and miss you and are praying for God's sweet peace to surround you. How we wish we could attend the funeral. Bro. E. had asked Phillip to be at his funeral, but we just found out tonight, and his funeral is tomorrow. Phillip looked on-line for tickets and they are nearly $2,000 from Colombia to Idaho. =( Please know we are with you in our thoughts and prayers!
With much love and LOTS OF HAPPY MEMORIES of our times with y'all,
Phillip and Heather Dickinson and family

Dear Aunt Miriam,
I learned of Uncle Dar's promotion to heaven while here in Bucharest, Romania. I'm teaching at a Music Camp for children. Please know that I am praying for God's perfect and abiding peace and comfort for you and all of your family. I wish I could be there to be reconnected with your family! Jay and I will never
forget your gracious hospitality when we visited you in Phoenix. God bless you richly with His love.

Dear Aunt Miriam,

Dave and I send our love, and are praying for you in this time of sorrow. We know you are grieving, but not as one who has no hope. May the Lord sustain you. Love, Sheryl and Dave O'Brien
