My deep condolences

Coach Edwards was my Driver's Ed teacher in a fancy Chevy Impala back in his days at Granite High School. As he became such a great coach at BYU, I was always proud to tell people he had been one of my teachers back in the day. Coach Edwards and his wife, Patti, were such a striking couple. My best to Patti and the family, Kathleen Wright--Granite High School

Great memories of the year I lived at your house and drove LaVell's old Studebaker to school. Loved LaVell and the family. LaVell, one of my dads best friends.

Your family is a beacon of inspiration always... Condolences to your family....
