"From the Day I was Born, I have been in Your Care, & from the of my Birth, You have been my God." Psalm 22:10 Love & prayers to Scott, Terry & the rest of Mrs. Edgar's family! Mrs. Edgar was a major part of my life growing up at First Baptist Church! She devoted her "Time" to the young people in the church & she loved the Lord & shared his Love in her daily Life! She will be missed on this Earth but she is in the Presence of our Lord.. Her Lord! She made a difference in my life & many people's lives. I know that she has many crowns that she is laying at Jesus feet with her loving, gorgeous smile! Thank you Mrs. Edgar for giving to the Lord for I was a life that was changed !

Ms Jean was a fine lady, she and her husband, Wil served on the Baptist Association Disaster Relief team with me and were always ready to help. I learned to love them and remember them both well. {1995-2010}

I met Miss Jean in October when I brought her granddaughter Jodie to visit her. I instantly loved her openness and warmth. I am saddened to hear of her passing. My condolences to the family and friends of this sweet lady.
