My sweet great Aunt Edna you were my great uncle Bernie’s companion and my grandparents Buck +Bonnie best friend. I so loved going on adventures with the four of you when I was growing up! One memory that comes to mind is going to the restaurant you had worked at and just having a good time together! I’m so thankful to have known you and had you my life. You are at peace and no longer suffering, though we miss you here on earth. We have all the memories that we had with you! You will always be my great aunt, I love you Edna!♥️ Brenda and family, I’m praying for you during this difficult and hard time! Praying for peace and comfort!
