Dawn and Warren are hearts are broken for you and all the kids. I wish I was there to hug you all so tight just like she always did when we got to see y’all. We always felt so loved by Aunt Edna. I know she is in Heaven with Mama, grandma Dorothy, grandpa Clyde, Uncle Bob, Bobbie and Kelly. I hope they are all playing golf together.
