My dear friend and daughter of Mr. Edwards, Janice, has often shared with me her love for her father and for her whole family. It always is difficult to loose someone you love so dearly. Knowing that Janice and her family have great faith provides comfort to those of us who love them from a distance, for we know that there is deep peace found in that faith.
