Mother

What a beauty! This picture was made on her 73rd birthday -- April 25, 1979

Three (3) years later she left us to meet her Heavenly Father.
Born April 25, 1906 died Feb 27, 1982

I thank God for allowing me to have such a mother as she was. There was never a question of her love and dedication for her family.

Grandpa's Bible

These are pages from Grandpa Frank Edwards' Bible. Just thought it was quite interesting to see some of the records and notes he made. As you can see some of it is very hard to read.
