Father Dwight Woodbury Edwards

Our family will forever remember Dwight for so many reasons. He was kind, compassionate, and so easy to talk with. It was easy to feel like you were his only friend when you were around him. He was part of our daughters confirmation and gave my husband his last communion at our home as my husband was waining from brain cancer. You may be gone but you will never be forgotten. Peace be with you

Dwight lived his faith with love and humility. I met him at a particularly important time in my life, at St. Timothy's in Mt. View. His teaching in my confirmation class, and his example of his life, solidified my faith in ways I can't even explain. He walked beside me at the death of my husband, and solemnized my marriage to my second husband in the midst of a huge rainfall during Lent and along with our six lively combined small children! He has occupied a space in my heart always.

Father Dwight always had the time to talk and listen, no matter how busy he was. An inspiration to many, he will be dearly missed.

Father Dwight Edwards was a major spiritual force in my teens, twenties, and thirties. He came to St. Mary's three years after we did and St. Mary's was blessed by his presence. I loved the way he came down into the congregation to give his homilies at the early service. His warmth and humor and compassion were great and he helped me see that Christianity is truly a living, breathing, daily act of being.

The Social Concerns group he fostered there did (and I'm sure still does) amazing...

Fr. Dwight was a dear friend and a wonderful priest to me for over 20 years. His impact upon my life was profound and he will be dearly missed. My blessings and prayers for comfort are sent to Rosi.

Dear Rosi,

I am so sorry for your loss! Fr Dwight was such an inspiration to us all and the two of you together....two sweethearts so in love! I so enjoyed every one of your visits to St. George's Salinas! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family! Joan Dresser
