Lonnie Edwards was a man of towering spiritual attainment, and he touched my life as he touched so many others who were members of the Rosicrucian Order A.M.O.R.C. in Chicago. I am grateful to have met him and to have had the opportunity to learn from him.

I just saw this sad news. I was Lonnie's Associate Director for Ambulatory Care back in the early 1970s. He was brilliant, innovative, driven, charismatic, caring, and joyously exciting to be around. He lived a full and important life. Many will miss him.

Dr. Lonnie Edwards befriended me when I was in the military serving in Diego Garcia during Operation Enduring Freedom. I read his book, Spiritual Laws That Govern Humanity, and I began to read his teachings and listen to his recordings. I joined the Rosicrucian Order, and he accepted my friend request. His guidance, mentorship, and teachings helped me through many struggles during my proud military service. I appreciated his dedication to teaching anyone seeking knowledge and sharing his insight. I wish his lovely wife, family, and friends comfort and peace. Peace Profound! May he rest well!

I was personally spiritually touch by my brother Lonnie. I will always treasure his memories. He was an unique soul. He was given the cosmic opportunity to have a long life dedicated to spiritual guidance. I consider myself lucky to have had met him and to be inspired by his teachings and Love for humanity. He lives in me and other that knew him. His presence and care lives for ever. He was a doctor healing physical ailments as well as a spiritual healer. Amazing example of Love to everyone that knew him.

Dr. Effie O Ellis introduced me to Dr. Edwards; he became a mentor and friend. I will remember him for his brilliance, deep thinking, and insight into humanity, along with the lessons he imparted helped shape not only how I viewed the world but how I would contribute to the world through my work. I am grateful to have been blessed with his teachings and friendship. My sincerest condolences to the family. - Walidah Bennett
