Not sure what to say?

Thinking about Caary Edwards as the anniversary of his passing approaches. May his memory be for a blessing and may his legacy shine.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

I volunteered for Carey Edwards when I was in high school and he was running for state legislature. I have such warm memories of the volunteers I met. Carey Edwards was always kind, appreciative and warm. When I graduated high school he sent me a basket with several kosher wines. His consideration and thoughtfulness (knowing that I observed the kosher dietary laws) was very touching. May his memory be for a blessing.

To The Edwards Family
I worked for Cary when he was Attorney General. He was a wonderful person and I am grateful for everything he did for me and my family.

Dear Cheryl, John and I are so sorry to hear of the loss of your brother. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

To Lynn and family,
I have followed this wonderful family in the news all these years; from sorority sister @ SHU to co-worker as a visiting nurse in Little Falls and at your wedding ceremony. I will keep you in my prayers and know that your love and devotion will sustain you in your loss.
With sympathy,
Angela Allora

Dear Family and Friends: Cary's sheer force of personality and optimism were and will remain inspiring.It was an honor to work with him as he fought for substance abuse treatment and prevention,and to extend recognition to New Jersey's Native Americans since the 80's He never gave up.Christine Grant former Commissioner Health and Senior Services

My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. I know the pain you are feeling, but trust me that in time you will be comforted in knowing what a great man your father was. He will be dearly missed.

To The Edward's Family:

I enjoyed working with Cary in Trenton many years ago. He was a good man who loved New Jersey. He will be missed by all.
