We wish to extend our love and sympathy to the family of Willard Edwards. He was a wonderful man and neighbor whom we greatly admired for his determination and valor throughout his life. He had a great love of his family, as well as his country for whom he fought to preserve our freedom. We are happy that he is reunited with his "Mary", whom he missed so much during the remaining days of his life. We will miss you Willard, but we will never forget you. An old soldier never dies; he just fades awsy.
