My name is Kathy Brewer Walter Edwards is my cousin and was better known as Junior. He wept with us loved us laughed with us. He held me up through the death of my parents. He was at my baptism at 8 years old, graduation from high school nursing school. He was a deacon at our church. There isn’t one bad thing I could ever say about Junior , MarthaJane (his wife ) or the boys Louis and Steve.   The only thing I can say is they are pillars of there church home and family and I love them .  Good Christian people. Love love

What a great neighbor and friend!! A true blessing having Walter and Martha in my life. Happy he's with our wonderful Creator but surely sad he's not with us anymore. Love you buddy.

Wendell and I are so deeply sorry for your loss. We love each and everyone of you. We love you with all of hearts. Junior wiped my tears when daddy went to be with Jesus. MarthaJane played a big role in my life and childhood as a Christian. I don’t know what I would do without y’all in my life. Yall helped me with mother too.  I sure will miss my precious cousin. Wendell and I are praying for you all. Love always , Wendell,Kathy and children. (The Brewers)

I knew and loved Pepaw from the first time I met him when I was sixteen years ago . He was the most loving and thoughtful person to me and my wonderful son , his first grandchild Jeffery .
