In Loving Memory of Lyric Edwards
June 2nd, 2011 – May 20th, 2024
With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of our beloved daughter, Lyric Edwards, who left us on Monday, May 20th at the age of 12. Lyric was a beacon of light and love, whose presence brightened the lives of everyone who had the privilege of knowing her.
Born on June 2nd, 2011 in Tulsa, OK, Lyric was a joyful and spirited child who grew into a compassionate and talented individual. She excelled in music and art, always approaching life with curiosity and determination.
Lyric attended Sequoyah Middle School. She was admired for her kindness, generosity, and unwavering support for her friends and family.
She is survived by her loving parents, Amber and Ryan, her 3 brothers, Rome, Chaplin, and Atlas, and her grandparents Cindy Edwards, and Scott and Cindi Miller. Lyric also leaves behind a multitude of extended family and friends who will forever cherish her memory and the moments they shared with her.
Though our hearts are broken, we find solace in the beautiful memories we have of Lyric. Her spirit will live on in the love she shared and the lives she touched.
Rest in peace, my little Strawberry. You will be forever missed and eternally loved.
Public visitation will be held Tuesday, May 28, 2024 from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. with family present to greet friends and guests at Matthews Funeral Home in Edmond, Oklahoma.
A Memorial Service to celebrate Lyric’s life will be held on Thursday, May 30th at 3:00 p.m. at Life Church on I-35 in Edmond.
We will all miss her so much. She was one of the best friends I’ve ever had in a while.
My heart is breaking for her friends, family and all who knew her. I am the Indiana grandmother of one of her friends and have been thinking of you all week. I pray for comfort for all.
Piper you were the sweetest and most amazing girl I’ve ever meet you made everyday better by your smile there is so much I wish I could have said to you there is no other way to put this but we miss you and you will never be forgotten or unloved
Because I love you..
And I loved her…
I love piper
Piper was a close friend if mine in 6th grade we were best friends and my brother was best friend with her oldest brother but I lost contact with her after I moved and I feel so bad because I miss her so much I just want to hug her and ask how she’s doing. Maybe she didn’t see as her best friend anymore but I still see her ad mine and I’m gonna miss her forever. I love u piper I’m sorry I moved
I am gonna miss u. And I hope ur family is ok and I will see them tomorrow.
I will love u always and forever..
You were and will always be a beautiful girl and friend inside and out. My boy stood beside you in Band and I always looked at you thinking how beautiful you were. Every time I asked my son about you he always said you were nice to him, so thank you for that. You will be missed so very much on Earth by everyone who knew you, but Heaven has gained an Angel.
I didn’t know Lyric that well but I knew her from my sister and I always saw her in the hallways even though im a 6th grader she seemed like such a bright spirit even with other things going on in her life it hurt a lot to find out what she did my heart dropped when I found out as I was just cleaning out my bag my sister told me. No kid deserves to feel to do that neither do friends or family deserve to find that out my prayers are with you guys and other family and friends
Sincerely-Zoe
Your Scouting family will miss you.

I taught Lyric in Pre-K. I will always remember her as a kind and gentle soul. She was very funny and her smile and laughter was contagious. She was sweet and I enjoyed having her in my class every day. She’s one of those kiddos you never forget. She had something special. My heart breaks for her family and friends, as I can only imagine the pain they feel from her absence. I hope to see you again in Heaven one day Lyric.

Lyric I don’t know where to begin you are such a beautiful high-spirited girl. I wish I could tell you that now. I wish I had the chance. But in my heart, I will never forget your beautiful hair, amazing smile, and contagious laugh! it always made me happy seeing you. Although I didn’t spend as much time with you as I would have liked to I hope the prayers you get will make up for it. I hope Jesus had a great spot for you in heaven love always your rock scissors shoot buddy <3

When Nya told me that you had left, it hit me hard. You were such a good friend last year and I will forever miss you. I’m so sorry I wasn’t there this year to be your friend. We all love you Piper.
I miss you, Lyric. You were a great friend, and though we only met at the beginning of 7th grade, we had some of the best times of my life. I remembered being inconsolable after your passing. I cried for so long, I don’t even have an estimat for how long I cried. I hope you’re doing okay in heaven.
I miss you so much my pookie bear, you were the sweetest, most understanding, and best friend I’ve ever had. I love you with all of my heart. I will never find someone like you. I will miss laying down and talking in the forest with you for hours, I will miss you sneaking out of the house to hang out with me, I will miss staying up till 4 every night calling you. Words cannot describe how badly I’m hurting. You were my whole world. I love you with all of my heart pookie bear, rest in peace<3
