Willie Mae & the Edwards Family: I am so sorry to hear of Luke's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you. May God's sweet love carry you through this time of sorrow. Now all the fox huntin` buddies are gone, but I can still hear Daddy's horn as he calls in his dogs, as I am sure you can Luke's, as well. If God allows fox hunting in heaven, you can be sure Daddy, Barton, Emmit & now Luke are right in the middle of it all. I loved and thought a lot of Luke. He was a special man and will be missed.

Willie Mae and Family,

We are so sorry for your loss of Luther. Our good Lord will welcome him. I thanked him so much for moving the tree that fell on my Daughter Kathy Keko's Monument. He came with his mule and moved it.
