John B. EDWARDS

Hi Paul, Nathan, and Gretchen: I have been thinking of you and your father most every day since you called me. Uncle "Dick" to most of his family was my favorite uncle. He always showed genuine interest in me even when I was a small kid. When on leave from the navy he would come visit us and would give me latest judo moves he had learned in Japan. I believe he earned his "brown belt" while there. When I would visit during summers, he would take me and cousins over to the river...

John and Phyllis where very active at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Hillman we worked many pancake breakfast together, John touched many lives here with his messages when he preached and his many wise stories he was a special man and will be truly missed my sympathy Kathy Faust

Dear Nate,
I am so sorry to hear of your dad's passing. From what I have read about him, he sounds like a gem. I pray it bring you and your family some comfort knowing this is only temporary. One day you all will reunite with your dad again. Lean on one another, and give your mom lots of hugs.

My deepest sympathy. God Bless you and your family...
