Mrs. Jackie, our thoughts and prayers are with you and family during this difficult time. Mr. Benny was truly a wonderful and well respected man. He will be deeply missed.
Jackie, Keith and family, Christy and family:
All of you will be in my thoughts and prayers in the weeks and months ahead. How well I know, since the loss of my Harold, as do Jena and Darren loosing their Dad, the heartache you all have. It is my prayer that this void you feel without your husband and Dad, will be filled with many wonderful memories of the happy years you all shared with him. And I know first hand that during these times, the Lord gives peace and comfort beyond understanding, as you call upon Him.
I will miss my Uncle Benny, but in the days ahead a smile will come to my heart as I remember the wonderful words spoken at his funeral service. He was, indeed, a gentle and kind man who loved his family and friends and lived his life to the fullest, with many accomplishments.
I will be checking in on you, but remember, I am only a phone call away.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this time. I will always remember Uncle Benny with beautiful eyes and a sweet smile! The service was beautiful. The memories and stories shared will be treasured by all in attendance.
Jackie, Keith and Christy,
"God heals the broken in heart" Psalm 4:3 We know the healing power of the Holy Spirit will comfort you. His presence will give you peace, strength and courage for each day. Jesus will hear and answer each prayer when you call on Him, because He cares for our needs. Your love and treasured memories will live on in your hearts throughout this lifetime. Then we will all be together forever. It is Gods promise to every believer that we have eternal life. We will miss our brothers kind heart, his soft voice and his beautiful attitude of life. He is rejoicing today with his Savior and Lord.
Our Love to all of you - William and Margaret Edwards
Unfortunately, I only knew Benny Edwards for short time. During this time we created unspoken bond. I found Benny to be a honorable, good heart, fair man. A man I would gladly call a friend. Karen and I will miss you.
Jackie, So saddened to hear about Benny, still remember how kind he was to me when I purchased furniture many years ago. It is still with us and always reminds me of how much fun it was to go to the shop. Sincerely, Dawn McBurney
Benny was a loving, giving, funny man and he will be deeply missed by myself and Katie. He was always so kind to us. Our hearts and sympathies are sent to his family, as we remember them in our prayers. Benny Edwards made Covington a beautiful place with his talent. It was our pleasure to know him. Love to Jackie! Katherine Fertitta and Katie McKeown
"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away" (Revelation 21:4).
ive never meet someone that was so loving as Mr. Benny was. He was willing to do anything for anyone, and thats hard to find these days. We need more people in this world like him. I am so thankful i was able to meet him, because he was there for me when I needed him. I wish there was a way I could pay him back for the things he has done for me. I send my condolences to the family, and also want to thank you all for the things you have done for me and being a part of my life. Thank you...
