A wonderful father in law calling me daughter in law before I said I do to his son. A great Dad that wanted the best for his sons. An amazing proud Grandfather that gave his grands his heart doing all that he could for and with them showing them that he really, really loved them reminding me of my grandfather. He was caring,loving,giving and always doing and Going out of his way showing that he cared. He will truly be missed. We thank God for you and for blessing us with the time well spent with you. We will miss you and all the great meals and all that you have done. Knowing things won't be the same without you we will always remember your kind heart and the love that you gave and all the good times that we had with you. Even though you are no longer here with us you will always be right here in our hearts and will never be forgotten. We will remember you R.I.P Big Papa love Lil Bit

The community will dearly miss Mr. Bernard Edwards. He was a kind generous person that would do anything for you. I will truly miss his daily calls, generally telling me I needed to cut the yard. My condolences to the family and my prayer that God's blessings and favor continue to rest upon you. Albert Chisolm and Family

I love you grandpa. You use to fuss all the time about me picking up the phone to call more often. I wish I would've called every single day instead of every few weeks. You'll be missed! I love you forever
