I am so sorry to hear of Edwards passing away. Growing up Bunny as we called him ( don’t remember how he got that nick name) was one of my favorite cousins. In our younger days we all spent a lot of time together. You all will be in my prayers.
Dear Bryan, Laura and Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. May God bring you all peace and comfort during this time. God’s arms around you all.
Donna and family,
I pray for peace and comfort for you and your family. May the Lord bless and keep you.
