REMEMBERING TOGETHER
Memories & condolences
When I first met Rev. Edwards, the first thing I noticed was his contagious smile. We walked in the same direction to get home from school. In church he worked tirelessly in whatever capacity needed. Over the years Rev. Edwards has stood by my side during the loss of my parents, two siblings, niece and nephew. When something happens, he always there and took the time. What a true and dear friend. I always enjoyed our visits when I would come to Helena. Larry will be missed. Helena has lost a gem that no one can duplicate. Condolences to the family and friends. RIP, your work here is done. Til we meet again.
