My dearest Uncle there are no words to describe what you meant to me or how I will miss you. You were my motivator, not one conversation did we have and I not listen. It was because of you I pushed my children to aim high academically. If ever there was a need I had I could always depend on you, your value for family was always reflected in your actions. I admired you and had the upmost respect for you. I will cherish every memory I have of you always and forever. I love you Uncle, RIP until we meet again. "Miss Ann"

My deepest sympathies to the entire Edwards family. May God comfort and be with you always. I came to know Archie Lee through my mom Lorene (Thomas) Crawford and have heard many stories about the Edwards and Thomases and growing up in Shamrock, TX. I will cherish those memories forever. You are in my prayers.

From Mr. Edwards as my Black History teacher at Rose State to a father figure to me and a grandfather to my son for 10 years. We called him "Mr E". He and Mrs E impacted our lives in the most positive way during that season. We love you and miss you. Mr E is forever a part of our lives. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.
