So sorry to read this today. Edgar was a good friend of my brother, Eddie Erwin, growing up in Plaquemine. As a younger (11 yrs) sister, I always looked up to those guys. We became Facebook friends and shared much of the same philosopy on life and a love of Jesus and His Word.
Our condolences to all of you.
Jackie and Rita Lynn Erwin Jackson, Plaquemine.

My heart is heavy to hear this. Mr Ed was my second dad since I was small. He will be in Heaven dancing with Mrs. Ann and daddy. Such special memories with this family. God has another Angel and we will see each other again someday. My heart is with you Mike and Sandy! Love from us. Carla and Ted
