As we see our life in the present move into the past, there is a sadness. A friend of the present, is now in all of our past. We hold dearly and most zealously to those memories… fixing them in time. Pouring them in a mold that will now never change. They become a wonderful book to open again and again as long as we too are still alive. I speak of Nancy Edwards. She was a lot to a lot of people… and a smile to the world. Nancy… we will miss you forever.
Funeral services will be 10:00am Tuesday, June 12, 2018 in Edwards Funeral Home Chapel with burial following at Woodlawn Memorial Park. Services are under the direction of Edwards Funeral Home.
