Aunt Edna Mae and Uncle Reid were special to us. One time when they were visiting mother and daddy in Smyrna, we all went to the Braves baseball game. Aunt Edna Mae would send Wanda and me a pack of Valentines when we were little girls. I always looked forward to getting them and seeing her beautiful handwriting. I have been to see Mother today and she was telling me about living with Edna Mae and Reid years ago. May God be with you all during this difficult time.
Love,


Fred & Joyce Hughes Bandy and family

My family wants to express out deepest sympathy to yours during this time. My mother, Wanda Hughes Russell, told me that Ms. Edna Mae and my grandmother, Katherine Hughes, used to lay in the bed and talk all night when they would visit one another. My grandmother dearly loved Ms. Edna Mae.
God Bless,
Robin Ledford Davenport and Family
