    I love Edwin so much and we spent years together. A very kind and caring soul, best friend with my mom Sherry! I didn’t remember he was born in Jackson like her too! He touched a lot of lives and I’ll always appreciate his efforts to assist my mom with her struggles in life. Much love to you Big Ed and Stephanie!

    Edwin was a sweet and kind rascal who could really spin a good yarn. He showed his kindness nor only by volunteering at The Phone but by being a good listener with everyone. We’ve been missing Edwin for awhile as he has declined, so glad no more pain or discomfort.
