Mrs. Edwards ("Annadel") was a wonderful, caring, and generous person. I will never forget her laugh and love to travel. She's been a friend and mentor to many around the world and always had time to listen to others. Her Christian Scientist church affiliation all her life contributed to her longevity and zest for life. She took care of my uncle Hamilton Edwards in the last part of his life and saw that he was comfortable until his passing. I will truly miss you Annadel and forgive me if I mispelled anything here. Her nephew (on the Edwards-side) Riley J. Elwood.
