He never looked for praises. He was never one to boast. He just went on quietly working for those he loved the most! “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’ (Matthew 25:23) With Deepest Sympathy The family of Odessa Edwards, Johnnie\'s memory, faith, and love will always be carried in our hearts.
