Don, I will never forget the countless hours we worked together on the night shift. You were a wonderful psychiatrist and always treated your patients with care and respect. You were a terrific to all of the nurses and always willing to listen their thoughts about the patients. I will remember fondly our breakfasts after work and our long conversations. You will always hold a place in my heart.

Don, I'm sorry I never got a chance to say good bye or thank you for the countless hours I spent by your side learning from you or just watching your kindness as you worked with your patients. You were a brilliant Doctor and a kind and generous man who always took time for everyone, patients and staff. May God take you home and grant you peace, healing you physically and giving you rewards for the work you did on earth. Good bye and I join in so many voices in saying you will be missed and our lives were all better for having shared some time with you.

I will truly miss my brother. I always looked up to him even as a child he was just always so smart and used words I would have to ask what what it meant. He always listened to me and guided me through troubling times. I guess this is my way of saying good by to you Donald. Thank you for being there for me your little sister as I admired you and loved you so much. Tell mom and dad hi for me. I miss you all. Love forever your believant creature feature.

I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Edwardson for many years at Waterbury Hospital. He was such a joy to work with and always had a smile on his face and a kind word to say. My condolences to his family.
