My dad, Charles Steward taught with C E, Edwa's husband in Cotton Plant in the 60's. They became wonderful friends with our family. We visited them when they moved to Damascus. Our family always loved them both. You are in our prayers.

Our sincerest sympathy to the family and friends at this your time of loss. We wanted to share a thought found at Job 14:14,15 it states, "If a man dies, can he live again? I will wait all the days of my compulsory service. Until my relief comes. You will call, and I will answer you. You will long for the work of your hands." May you have peace and comfort."
