May the Lord God grant you comfort at this time of bereavement. I knew your Mother and Father as I grew up, I had the honor of working with them at the farm back in the early 60's , they inspired us as young people, taught us work ethics, etc. They were God fearing people that we all loved and respected as parents, they served as God's hands and feet in the earth, always helping out where they were needed. Mrs. Corine was a great cook, one of our favorites was fried chicken livers and gizzards. God hold you close at your time of loss, always remember " Weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning " Love you in the Lord, Mrs. Martha Edwards Wade ,The Entire Edwards Family, The Aunt of Dionysia ( Dee Dee ) Edwards
