Change of Address for: Corey Jamar Edwards

Dear Family and Friends, please be advised that I have moved. I received a call the

other day from God, and he informed that my new home was complete. I knew that

my mansion needed some finishing touches and that The Father had to inspect it

and give me the final approval.

On Tuesday, May 16, 2017, He let me know that my mansion was finally completed

and I could move in and to go ahead and change my address. Well, let me tell you

that my new home is finished and what a sight to behold. It is located on an

exclusive estate area behind the pearly gates. The roads are paved with gold and

every day is Sunday (just like we’ve been told). There is peace, joy and happiness

here. Trees of fruit grace my garden here, and I can walk and talk with my Master

without any worries or cares.

Oh, did I mention that I have my own designer here who has fitted me with my very

own white robe and wings? I can now dine at the Master’s bountiful table and listen

to a Heavenly Choir. And best of all, My Heavenly Father is there in all His glory. Oh

what a joyous day this truly is.

I could go on and on about my new home but instead I am going to pray that you

will get to move here yourself one day.

So my dear loved ones, there is no need to cry or be saddened any longer, because

for me, there is no more pain, heartache, strife or discontent, only sweet serenity.

Celebrate my homegoing, for I am in His care. Before I go let me give you my new

address, and please pass it on:

Corey J. Edwards

80 Heavenly Circle

Godstown, Heaven 00000

P.S… I don't have a telephone yet, but you can always call on God. If you don't know

his number, just pick up your Bible and begin to read, for it is listed on every page.

The family of Corey J. Edwards would like to thank you for your expressions

of kindness and support you gave during the passing of our loved one.

May God continue to bless each of in His own special way.

6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give

unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. 7 He that overcometh shall

inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

Revelation 21:6-7 (KJV)

Corey Jamar Edwards was born February 12, 1988 to Carolyn Green Edwards and

the late Charlie J. Edwards. He departed this life on May 16, 2017 at Palmetto

He attended the public schools of Richland County, graduating from Eau Claire

High School in 2006. Corey was a dedicated employee of Ashapurima, LLC in

Columbia.

A lifelong resident of Columbia and pillar of the Eau Claire community, Corey was
