I did not know Ms. Edwards, but it is obvious she lived a full life, filled with the love of her family. My sincere condolences to those she left here on earth.
 To the Family, so sorry for your loss. Hope you will be comforted in knowing that Anita has the prospect of being resurrected, healthy (in the flesh), to Paradise Earth just as Jehovah God has promised. In fact , the vast majority will enjoy everlasting life right here on earth as God had intended from the beginning. God’s Kingdom will do this under the rule of Jesus Christ.
