To the Edwards Family,
My deepest sympathy to all of you. I can picture your dad sitting along the side of your house when I'd go down 37th Street. He was a fixture there. We always said he took such good care of the lawn! I know you have many good memories of your dad. Keep them close during this very sad time.
