Mr. Edison Valdez

dear Lorraine, I send you both tenderness and strength as you face this life-changing event. Edison seemed to have such a warm and gentle nature; he was always so willing to help someone. I'll sure miss him at the powwows. Remember to reach out to those of us in your communities at anytime. =shar=

It is not an easy road we shall walk tomorrow, knowing that we will be saying our goodbyes. But together with the light of the Creator, all of our pains and sorrows shall heal with time. Tomorrow we will remember and share the cherished memories we have made together. As well as celebrate the impact you have had on our lives. I know Lorraine and Houdini are missing you so much everyday. But I think they are going to be in good hands with Sasha & Thor. May Creator continue to be with us always.

Edison,You will never be forgotten my Cousin! Your Tatoo that you did for me will permanently stay will me forever..Although, you tried all you could to get out of it at the time. You were always very Polite to me, for that I will always remember you!

In Peace and in happiness we will be with the Perfection on Life. Its unfortunate I was unable to visit You, Lorraine, and Eddy in Oakland. Next time we will visit in better circumstances. Rest in Peace My Dear Cousin,Love Always and Forever Your Cousin Sister,Yolanda Blackie

That was a beautiful obituary for Edison. I will always remember his quiet smile and kind nature. I will remember how loyal and loving he was to my cousin Lorraine. He was the kind of person that if you spent just a little bit of time with him, he won you over with his genuine and caring demeanor. He enjoyed funny things and saw a lot of things about people and situations that not everyone could see. I didnâ??t know him really well, but I knew he loved his people whole-heartedly. I think no matter what happened, he always just wanted good and tried hard to be good. He is gone too soon and yet, I hope he knows he left a mark on many people who he touched in his life and most of us saw him for who he really was, a humble, loving man, who wanted good. Rest in Peace Edison, your memory lives in in those who loved you and we will speak of you often.-Celsa
