Tribute Though we can’t deny the absence that’s inevitably in our hearts. We also couldn’t dare deny the happiness that you’ve left at your depart. We’ll always have the memories that only we could’ve lived. And we’ll always share that special bond, that only a sister and brother can give. Your unmatched cool, and uproarious laugh, see those are shoes that only you could meet. A brother’s love protects and supports in the midst of all that’s going on. And now we’ll reciprocate the same to you as you prepare to make your transition home. We don’t dwell on the hurt, for there are more celebratory things. Like rejoicing in the fact that our loving brother will receive his wings.
Sisters: Brenda, Rosalyn, Gloria, Vivian and Sharon
We the family of Timothy Edwards Jr. (Sonny) wish to express our deepest gratitude for the prayers, calls, cards, love and concern you have showered upon us during our time of bereavement. Through faith, we know that God will give us strength to continue the journey.
