IN MEMORIAM
DEACON DWIGHT H. EDGECOMB 12/26/52 – 6/08/2016
It’s funny how time just slips away. Through it all, the day you went to heaven my heart was bro- ken.
Knowing you’ll be there waiting for me, has given me the strength to move forward.
God is truly in control.
Always my love, San- dra, your wife.
