WEST BOUNTIFUL — Shilo and Micah Edwards were inseparable.

"They did everything together," said their mother, Lee Anne Edwards.

The two sisters and best friends constantly played together growing up, went to the same junior high and high schools and most recently were roommates while attending Snow College together.

Until Friday, Lee Anne Edwards said her family had lived a charmed life. A "princess life," she called it.

But Friday morning, while driving home together from Snow College in Ephraim to spend the holiday weekend with their family, 19-year-old Shilo and 21-year-old Micah were both killed in a two-car traffic accident on U.S. 89 near Fairview.

"They were my best friends, and I was their best friend," Lee Anne Edwards cried, unable to hold back her tears. "They were so beautiful, inside and out."

Saturday, there were many hugs and tears throughout the Edwards home as friends and family members stopped by throughout the day and into the evening to console each other. The two sisters are survived by their parents, 14-year-old sister Shelby and two older brothers, Kolby and Tyler, all of whom were very close to the girls. Lee Anne Edwards said she worried about her youngest daughter, who was now without her older sisters.

"She's going to be lost without them," she said, again wiping away tears.

Pictures of the two young Edwards girls could be found all around the house — Shilo with brunette hair and Micah with her blond hair.

Shilo completed beauty school and high school at the same time and already had a hair stylist license. She was going to college to get her associate of arts degree. Micah was working to become a nurse.

"They both always looked like a million bucks. They looked like models," Lee Anne Edwards said.

Micah liked working in rest homes and helping the elderly, her mother said. The two sisters made friends easily and never excluded anyone from their group, Lee Anne Edwards said.

"They had kind hearts and they were smart," their mother said. "They would light up a room."

Micah was remembered as the louder of the two girls, with Shilo being the more reserved sister.

Even though the girls were into makeup and hair, they also loved camping with their family and four-wheeling, their father, Dale Edwards, said.

"Nobody could ride a four-wheeler better than Shilo," her father said. "Even though they were prissy girls, they didn't have a problem getting down in the dirt."

Shilo was also talented on the piano and violin and was preparing to shop for wedding rings with her boyfriend, although they weren't officially engaged yet.
