 and one who perseveres .
How do I say goodbye to my brother who treated me like a queen, loved me unconditionally. and his first words when greeted by him to me was hello my beautiful sister. Oh how it hurts, yet I’m told that I am supposed to be the strong one in the family. I’m so glad that I actually got to participate in your journey back to health. God has a purpose and a plan and He knew it was time for you to join him in your heavenly home. I am so grateful to God for the opportunity to have such an amazing brother who never stopped living life to the fullest and teaching and encouraging others that anything is possible. I realize that though you are absent in the body , you are present in the Lord. I love you my brother.
Love you, Edwin Lee Roberts
Your sister, Rev. Dr. Erdie Mae Roberts Hutchings ❤️

March 19, 2023 at 8:33 amGoodbyes don’t exist for the kind of bond we had; you’re still a part of my existence. I’m glad I told you that I love you; the love and respect you showed me will never be forgotten; I’m glad you enjoyed your time on this earth, but now that you’ve crossed over I know that God has welcomed you with open arms; I know I’ll miss you here, but I know God knew what was best; I’ll always cherish the the moments we shared, the texts the laughter, the Love ❤️ you always showed; I know one day your beautiful sister will see you again

Your humble spirit touch so many lives. You always wanted us to do our best and live our lives to the fullest each day. Your knowledge was overwhelming in knowing what God’s word said and in business and in medicine. Your love for your sisters and brothers and your children and grandchildren was well acknowledged. So my beloved brother, you can now rest in the safety of God’s arms. ❤🙏🙏🙏

March 20, 2023 at 7:23 pmWe would first like to offer our deepest condolences to everyone that knew and loved Ed. This is a deep loss felt by all who had the honor of knowing him. Edwin Roberts, “Big Ed” was a hero to many, but also a cherished friend and traveling partner to us. I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone with as much bravery, strength and tenacity as he. To know his story makes you realize that nothing is impossible. With all the physical challenges he faced on a daily basis, Ed found a way to smile, be kind and loving to others. Get up everyday, make a difference, to laugh, have fun, and love life without complaint! Rest well in His loving arms my friend. You will remain in our hearts and be with us wherever we travel always!
Much love and deep respect!
Jeri and “Big Al” Alvin
