Edna was certainly a GREAT Aunt. We all loved her. She will be missed. The angels are celebrating!
I am so sorry to hear of Aunt Edna’s passing. I treasure memories of her laugh and sweet spirit and more recently, written correspondence with her when my family and I moved from CA to WI. She was always the “fun aunt”, even to my kids, her great-great nieces and nephew. We will miss her, but are happy to know she’s home.
