A correction from last week’s news: Mr. Charles Cosby of Batesville passed away, not J.W. Cosby.
Mr. James Wade Edwards, 55, passed away on Feb. 3 at North Mississippi Medical Center in Tupelo. Mr. Edwards was born Oct. 15, 1966, in Charleston, Miss., to Quinton Thomas Edwards and Gladys Carolyn Ransom Edwards. Wade was a lifelong employee of Peoples Livestock in Houston. He will be greatly missed. Mr. Edwards is survived by his mother, Carolyn (Tom) Hodge of Houston; his daughter, Morgan Edwards of Water Valley; his sister, Kayla (Jon) Murphree of Houston; his stepsisters, Candace (David) McMahan of Grenada and Debbie Logan of Calhoun City; his stepbrother, Tom Hodge III of Calhoun City; his niece, Kalyn Rae Murphree and his nephew, Jon Hodge Murphree, both of Houston.
Love and sympathy to the Daniel Sossaman family. Daniel passed away Sunday, Feb. 6 from COVID complications.
Tommy and Debbie McCool visited their son, Christopher, and family Sunday in Senatobia after church. They got up at 7 a.m. and went to Batesville to have breakfast — Tommy loves Hardee’s for breakfast — and then came back home until church time. They then went to Christopher's and spent the afternoon. Debbie said she got her some good hugs from their grandsons.
David and I got up early last Wednesday morning and drove my daughter, Donna Garripoli, to Oxford for a medical test. All was well. I double-masked while we were there. You never know!
Darlene Moorman is doing good after having surgery on her hand Feb. 1. Her stitches are out and she is healing well! You can’t keep a good woman down.
Martha Box is up and at ’em better this week. She is exercising daily and walking better with less pain. She said she walked into a great service at Pope Willow Springs Assembly of God Sunday, featuring music that thrilled her soul and brought in old memories. Afterward, she had a great sun-filled visit at Enid Lake. Got a lot of thinking and praising done.
Martha said she walked in the “Square Market” in Grenada to say “hi” to a friend and ended up in a great meeting: “The Chosen,” led by John Goldwater. It was a great spirit-filled day with messages that thrilled her soul and energized her mind! Sounds like a great day for you Martha, my friend.
Sadie Harper says she is better but not 100 percent. She said she would not wish what she had on her worst enemy! Milton, her husband, is doing great, never caught it, praise God. Sadie went to see her cardiologist Monday morning and later to see her medical doctor in Grenada. Sadie said she had hopes that 2022 was going to be a better year but it is not starting off as such!
