Jaroldeen A. Edwards

I was just talking about our dear friend Jaroldeen - about how she gave such good advice to us in Relief Society in the New Canaan ward so many years ago. She gave me some very important advice on how to raise teen-agers - she said that we had to find out everything about what they were doing. She was always wise and wonderful and I miss her still.

Dear Edwards Family,
I wanted to express my sympathy and love for your mother. I knew her through the NAC/BYU. She was always a ray of sunshine. Her happiness, wisdom and love were a movitating example. She will be greatly missed.
Siincerely,

Dear Edwards Family,

How loved and cherishd your mother was by so many! The news of the passing of so dear and vibrant a friend was difficult to assimilate. However, as we thought of how happy she and your father must be to be together, we realized it was a selfish approach we were taking to want to have delayed that extraordinarily joyful reunion.

The warm and intuitive nature of your mother touched many in a very personal way. Our family is deeply grateful to her for her...

Dear Edward's family: I was privilege to serve with your mother on the NAC at BYU, and will charish the warm visits I had with her because of her charm, wisdom and just how down to earth she was. I loved listening to her stories. She will be missed, but what a beautiful legacy she left in the wonderful lives of such a family. Sincerely Deanie Martino

Dear Edwards Family:

We have the highest admiration and affection for Jaroldeen and Weston Edwards! We count them as among our best friends.

Virtually every one of their thoughts, plans and actions were part of thinking of being helpful to the restored Church of Jesus Christ, their family, their friends and/or anyone in need.

They were magnificent role models . Knowing and observing them improved the lives of countless hundeds of people!

We sympathize greatly...

Dear Edwards,
We are so sorry to hear about your mom, and that we were out of town for the viewing and funeral. Just learned about her death this morning while speaking to Bonne Simmons. We will always remember when your family moved into the Westchester Ward and what a strong presence you were. Your Mom taught the Young Married class for a while - a real treat for all of us. Before you moved here, I had heard from my Aunt Alicebeth Ashby who lived in your ward or stake before you...

I just found out the news of Jaroldeen's passing and I am stunned to think of life without her incredible spirit and example. We were friends through the National Advisory Council of BYU for the past 26 years. She was my hero and my ideal of true womanhood. She had the unique ability to make everyone feel so loved and treasured. Her example and words of advice and wisdom have impacted my life forever. I will truly miss her. She has left her generous gifts and talents through a legacy...

To The Edwards Family,
In recent years our contact was by phone. She was such a delightful, uplifting and wonderfully spirited lady. Cheered up after each call, even our briefest exchanges were a highlight of my day.
In years past, when Weston and Jaroldeen, with my wife Helen and I, were all members of the Merrill Lynch family, we had many enjoyable times together, leaving us with a rich abundance of memories to remain in our hearts. We were especially touched to have been a model...

Your Mother has been a marvelous examplar! How happy it has made me to know her!
