Edwinia Gadsden Obituary

I am very saddened to hear of your loss, but what a wonderful angel Heaven has now. I met Mrs. Edwina during her treatment and from the very beginnig not only was I her advocate but we became friends. I will always remember her kind spirit. Even in her battle with cancer, she smiled and laughed and accepted what I can not even imagine having to deal with. May God comfort you in you time of loss

Shaun,
I am deeply sadden by your lost. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.
Jacquelyn Gore

In this your time of sorrow, our prays are with you.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

None so devotional as that of "Mother.

To Mr. Francis,Angie,Shaun and Kyler;
Know that you are in our prayers during this most difficult time. We know that words cannot take the pain away but know that Ms. Edwinia will be missed! She was a very sweet person always with that beautiful smile! She was a faithful servant always ready to say an encouraging word or a prayer for someone. I remember visiting with her and instead of me encouraging her she end up encouraging me. She fought a good fight. Remember that Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot not heal. God bless and we love you all.
Karma,D'Angela,Kierra, and Joshua

Peaceful journeys to my cousin Wina, may your soul rest in peace and may Angie, Shaun, and Francis find peace in your loving memory. Thank you for demonstrating to me the courage and strength to challenge and fight disease & illness. I will forever love and miss you.

We will always cherish our beautiful memories of Edwinia and the light and love of Jesus that she shared so kindly. Our prayers are with her precious family.

God puts no more on us than we can bare.I will keep your family in Prayer during this difficult time. Edwinia will be missed by many, not only her family. Be encouraged, God will take you thru this.

II Corinthians 5:8

We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.

To Francis and family,
Edwinia was a wonderful women, full of joy and lots laughter. We will always remember her beautiful smile, may the comfort of the Lord Savior Jesus Christ embrace the family during his most difficult time. May God Bless you all.

It's hard to lose a loved one to the grave. But we have that blessed hope that Jesus gave. God's gonna wipe all the tears from our eyes. When we meet in that land beyond the sky. Heaven's sounding sweeter all the time; seems like lately it is always on my mind. One day I'll leave this world behind. Cause Heaven's sounding sweeter all the time.

Mrs. Edwinia, because you have gone and I remain, walk slowly so I can catch up; because I want to stroll over Heaven with you one day. I love you and I will miss you; and I promise to continue to love and trust God as you so graciously did. And I promise too, to pray for Mr. Francis, your children and grandchildren.

You touched my life in ways no one else ever has and my heart may hurt today, but because of the testimony of you and your life, I will go on.

Love you my Precious Friend,
Debbi Cook
East Cooper Medical Center

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

Shaun;
There is a God who knows it all. He knew that it was time for your mother to take her rest. I remember when I first met her. Your family is in my prayers and you know that if you need me call me anytime. We love you!

I was so sorry to hear of the loss of the love of your life. Remembering your great love story today and always.

Shaun,
I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. You and your family are in my prayers!

Edwinia was a bright light, sharing warmth and strength with those of us going through difficult treatment together, always with hope. She is missed. Edwinia talked of her husband, children and grandson every week and was so proud. Our sincerest condolences as we remember our times shared with this great lady, who made the day brighter and the sun shine warmer for all of us.

Edwinia will be truly missed. My heart goes out to the Gadsden family during this difficult loss. Hold on tight to memories for comfort.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

My mother, my Guardian Angel!

It is so sad to hear of Edwinia's passing. I met her several years ago when I was trying to have some ministerial pictures taken. She informed me that I didn't have a problem, only an opportunity for her to show her gift with a camera. Gadsden family, you were truly blessed. God needed another photogapher as the saints move on to glory, so he plucked the best, remember she is only sleeping and you will see her again, if you faint not.

Shaun,we have a history that will never be erased regardless.We are truly in prayer with you and your family as you embrace one of life's toughess challenges. Statia,Scenna,Dee,and Chenitta Singleton.

Shaun,my heart goes out to you and your family during this difficult time. Your mother is now your angel watching over you like she always did. God will carry you when you cant carry yourself. His love and peace will surround you now and in the days ahead. I am here for you ALWAYS.
