Back in the good old days, Trinity had the prayer chain, and Edna and I were near each other on the list. Over the years, when we would meet, we would still call each other "prayer partner". She was such a gracious lady in all ways. I pray now for you, partner, instead of with you. May God comfort the Lally family.

Edna was the most friendliest, kind, gracious and caring person I have come to know. I will miss her and remember her each time I go to Gueisslers were we often saw each other and would converge in conversation. What a lovely lady. She will be missed. Ron and I are sorry for your loss. Barbara and Ronald Stavens

Having met Edna a number of years ago, I found her to be a warm and pleasant woman, always well dressed and easy to converse with.
She will be missed by her family and
friends.
