Condolences for Donald Blair Edwards
So sorry for your loss. I have fond memories of working at the A&Wand visiting with Don and Gwen in later years.
Don was a great man and friend who helped me through life. He always listened and helped me through struggles. I will always be grateful to him. Our prayers are with Don and the entire family.
Don was a memorable neighbor , He and a couple other old duffers with E bikes would cruise the area of Eagle ridge . I think I inspired Him to take up kayaking, there were few things that He wouldn’t try! I really was in awe of His agility, age never held Him back. I will miss His smile and wit. Rest in Peace Don,
We are so sorry for your loss. We only met Don once but could tell he was a great guy. We are friends of Bev.
Dear Edwards family,
I am sorry for your loss and regret that I cannot attend the internment. I will miss Don’s visits and our conversations on the phone. I have good memories of living in the house on 13th Street. I think we got along well because Don’s temperament was much like my father’s and I learned to adjust. Don kept life interesting and I thought he might just out-live me. As I said, I have fond memories of Don and Gwen, your grandparents, and all of you.
To the family and friends of Don Edwards. You have my deepest sympathy with the passing of Don.
Many memories came back to the days when we all lived in Beatrice, NE and the times spent at A & W Drive-Inn. Those where the good ole days!
Rest in peace Don. This life’s journey has ended. Blessings to all.
