Steve, I am so sorry. I just found out about your Mom today. I have been out of town since March. I last called and checked on your Mom a few months ago. She was my Mother's best friend and I loved her. Very nice lady. I remember telling her I would come to see her when I return home in November. Sure wish I would of made that visit this year when I was home. Thoughts and prayers to you and your family.
Sorry about the loss of your mom. I remember her when we were just children growing up on Krewson. She was a neat and attractive lady.
Larry and family,
We were so sorry to learn of your mother's passing, and want you to know that we will be lifting the family up in our prayers. She was a gracious lady, and I remember her well. When Terry and I brought Kim home from the hospital in January 1964, she brought the cutest little outfit for her to the house. You were truly blessed to have her with you so long. I know you'll cherish all your memories of her.
Larry, I'm am so sorry for the loss of your Mother. My condolences to your entire family

Steve,
I was sorry to hear about your mother
We are so sorry to hear about Mrs. Edgar, she was a very special lady, always with a smile and always very proud of you boys. She and I have had some very good visits talking about our boys. Your mother was always very independent and always looked to perfection! I have enjoyed her friendship these last few years, really enjoyed when she was able to come to church and sit with me, a real joy. Thank for letting us enjoy your special mother for a short while.
May God bless and comfort you Gary,Larry, Steve, Max and Sara.
Sincere condolences to Steve and the Edgar family. So sorry for your loss.
Dear Family,
I have such sweet, sweet memories of Marvelle, dating back to 1980 and 1981 to present day. She had a sweet spirit and was so proud of her sons and said "I have the best daughters -in-law".
I will miss her a lot, but with good memories.
