    A heartfelt sadness is what I am feeling for this close knit family. Whenever you saw Edgar not far behind you would see his loving wife Dalerie. I am so sorry for your loss but remember he is in the great and loving care of God our Father. Continue to trust God in all his great wisdom. Blessings!
