I have great memories of Margaret and Les Edwards when I was growing up as a teen in the 1960s. Bob was my best friend those years and Catherine was always like my second sister. They were my family outside of my home on Kimwood Bay. Margaret always treated me special as she treated everyone in her presence. I lost track of the Edwards family as I worked overseas during my adult life. I have wonderful memories of them all. Margaret was my second mom. I always loved her for the love and joy she continuously exuded, and she was always giving. Her smile lit up the room. May God continue to bless her wonderful heart. - Posted by: Thomas Conra (neighbour and friend of son Bob Edwards) on: Dec 18, 2013
