Tommy was the BEST Husband, Daddy, Pa-Pa and Friend. He loved going on family trips, making people laugh, going to work every day, fishing, playing the fiddle and making music with his friends. There will never be another like Tommy Edwards. The love we have felt from all of his friends and family has been unbelievable and we are so thankful for each and every one! Life on this earth will never be the same, but we can only imagine the celebration he is having in heaven.
