Condolences for the family of “Isabelle (Renwick) Edwards”

Condolence from Michele Adair on November 2nd, 2010 3:42 PM

I am so sorry to hear of your loss and you have my sympathies. You will not know me but I ask that you send my sympathies onto Roy (Grandpa) Zinn also. I only met your mother once and that was this summer at my nieces wedding, Roy Zinn’s great grand daughter Carrie. I cherish Grandpa Zinn and I hope you will pass this on to him. I lost my mother last year to cancer and I hope you all can let the good memories ease the pain you feel now. Take care.

Condolence from Edith Martin on November 2nd, 2010 5:04 PM

It’s hard to believe that my good friend and encourager, Isabelle, is gone. She’s been such a big part of my life since we connected with Mannatech, and found we also had mutual friends, one of which just left us not long ago as well. (Helen Meldrum.) My sympathy goes to all of her family, most of whom we met at her 80th birthday party, and to Roy, her beloved friend, as well. She cherished all of you so much, and never tired of telling me about you.
Roy, you are so welcome to come and see us still, and you know we would be happy if you did. You’re a part of our circle of friends that we treasure, and don’t want to lose touch with you now. You are always welcome! As are Isabelle’s family, of course. I’m sure she’d be happy for us all to keep in touch!
I’m so glad she didn’t suffer and wasn’t bedridden for a long time. We should all be so blessed! I know she’s now healthy and young again, and we can rejoice in her ‘graduation!’ We look forward to seeing her again. God bless all of you and be your source of comfort! Our prayers are with you.

Condolence from Sandra & Ron Lupton on November 2nd, 2010 6:15 PM

We are very sorry to hear of Aunt Isabelles passing. Christmas won’t be the same without her letters. Our condolences to all of her family and to her companion Roy Zinn.

Condolence from Brian Plum on November 2nd, 2010 7:49 PM

It is with much appreciation to the testimony that Isabelle has been for her Lord, that I share my sympathies with her family. May God richly encourage all of you at this difficult time.
Know that she is eagerly waiting on the other side of those pearly gates to greet each one of you. So look to Him in this difficult time.

Condolence from Cora Hayter and Tracy Hayter- Proudfoot on November 3rd, 2010 12:44 PM

We were sorry to hear about your loss.
I will miss saying Good Morning to your mom in the hall way.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Condolence from Laurie Bennett, California USA on November 3rd, 2010 3:35 PM

I am truly sorry to hear of the painful loss the family is feeling. Though I’ve never met her, I’m glad to have been able to know more about Isabelle through the stories from Cherie and John and a few of Cherie’s siblings (of which I realize now, were only a small fraction of the family!). The pictures shared here help tell more of the story of her life, thank you for sharing that.

I have a heavy heart for all who remain behind, but I’m sure she has been heartily greeted with a “Well done Isabell, well done!”.

Condolence from Restview Retirement Home-Lucan on November 3rd, 2010 4:59 PM

Condolence from Gleason Family on November 4th, 2010 11:57 AM

While we never had the opportunity to actually meet Ms. Edwards. We know of her through her daughter Dena. The stories Dena tells of her mom are always full of admiration and love. Telling of her compassion, humor, wisdom and love for life.

Ms. Edwards will continue to shine through her children and grandchildren.

Our prayers are with you and your family.

Condolence from Lynn Wilcox on November 4th, 2010 5:22 PM

I was so sorry to hear of the death of your Mom of my dear friend. I feel I know you all so well because your mother always talked about her family and what was going on in your lives. I am unable to attend the service but please know I am thinking of you and send my sincere sympathies. Your Mother was such an inspiration. She blessed the lives of so many at Chateau Gardens as a Volunteer, and I especially enjoyed the time she spent here. She provided hours of pleasure for our residents leading the weekly Spelling Bee, and providing piano music during the morning coffee break. She played and we sang, it was always so much fun and made the morning special. She was a wealth of knowledge, always willing to share and most importantly she shared her love for the Lord in everything she did and said. What a wonderful witness. It is a great comfort to know she is resting in the arms of the Lord. God Bless you all.

Condolence from Bill Gold on November 5th, 2010 8:29 AM

Cherie and John – Rhonda, Zanna, Gryffin and I send our condolences to you and your family.

I am so sorry to hear of Aunt Isobel’s passing. Tom called me today to let me know. I am in Florida for the winter.

Condolence from Joy Yoder on November 8th, 2010 1:28 PM

Isabelle was a wonderful lady. I didn’t know her well, but the times I would meet and see her @ the Mannatech events she was a lovely lady. The Lord must have needed her more in heaven! I know she will be greatly missed. David & Rebecca Rundle always talked so highly of her. May the God of peace be with you now as the family goes through this hard time but rejoice because great is her reward and soon to see her again!

Blessings,
Joy & Dwayne Yoder

Condolence from Paul Bies on March 4th, 2011 2:09 AM

So sorry to hear. My sincere condolences. I have fond memories of your mom and your family. I’m sure she’s missed dearly. Fill the void her parting has left with memories of joy – a friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss. Our thoughts are with you.
