As I type I'm still little stunned of my Dad's passing, however I am glad my father is no longer in pain. I'm proud of the positive support and blessings from family and friends. Until you can empathize of a close death in the family you can only imagine how much love and support is needed throughout the time of grieving. I'm proud of my father's accomplishments and I hope to live everyday for the rest of my life making him and my mother proud of their son.
Thank you,
Richard Edwards
