I want to take this time to express my deepest condolences to the family especially his wife, children, siblings and all whom loved and cherished him. Mr. Shawn Edmondson, wife and sibling were instrumental in planning my wedding years ago. His voice was angelic and I had the pleasure of hearing him sing. Thank you. I will keep Mrs. Rachel Edmondson and family and friends in my thoughts and prayers.
The candle may go out, but the memory of your light remains.

Today, I want to honor a man who may not have been my father by blood, but who chose to be my father by heart. And sometimes, the family we choose-and the family that chooses us-creates a bond even deeper than anything written in DNA.

He showed up for me. In big ways, in small ways, in all the moments that truly matter. He guided me, supported me, and believed in me, even when I didn´t always believe in myself. He taught me what strength looks like, what patience looks like, and what love looks like. He never needed a title to prove who he was to me-his actions said it every day.

He gave me a place to feel safe, understood, and cared for. He made sure I knew I mattered. And I will carry those lessons, that love, and every laugh we shared for the rest of my life.

It´s hard to say goodbye to someone who filled such an important place in my world. But I´m grateful-grateful that life brought him to me, grateful for the memories, and grateful for the kind of love that not everyone gets to experience.

He wasn´t just "like" a dad to me. He was my dad. And I will honor him forever for the role he played in my life.

Thank you for loving me the way you did. Thank you for choosing me. I´ll miss you always.
Love, your daughter, Vanessa

Dear Dad,

I am still not quite sure how to say goodbye to you.. To your beautiful voice.. To all of the conversations we´ve had.. To the moments we realized that despite the distance, we were still so much alike..

I always thought we´d have more time.. Time to grow past mistakes made or silences that were just a moment too long..

I told you in one of our last conversations, that I would sing in your stead and that I will pray when you can´t.

Today I am singing, today I am praying.

I love you & I will find you in the sunrises..

Goodbye for now..

-Catiana Edmondson

Shan, thank you for loving me as if I were your own. Thank you for Catiana and playing the role you did in my life growing up.

You weren´t just a step dad. You were dad.
I pray for you, and I love you dearly.

Today, I want to lift him up and everyone who loved him, especially my sister Catiana as she grieves her father. I pray God surrounds each one of us with comfort, strength, and the kind of peace that surpasses all understanding.
