To the Perrault Family. A fond memory for me was sitting at Rick and Angela's home in C-ville in the summer time on their back porch, while Edna would cook, smile, give me a hug and call honey. She always made me feel welcome….
Romans 14:8 For if we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord'

Ms. Edna I'm going to miss seeing you at Farm Fresh grabbing our Starbucks coffee and our conversations as we both scurried to work. What conversations we had as strangers and who knew we had a common friend in Carol Mabus. You had a huge heart to help others always with a smile. Prayers to your family during this difficult time. Ms. Edna you've left your mark on this community. Peace be with you as you are now in God's arms.

Richard and family,so sorry for your loss, my heart is broken. She was a beautiful person, and friend. I loved her like a sister. We had so many good talks. There was never a time she did not smile when I came in the door. I loved going to work early so I could go have something to eat and talk to Edna. You and I will never know how many lives she touched and the impact she made on all of us. Just know she is in a better place and you and I will see her again someday. I have a real hard time understanding why good people die young, but I know God makes no mistakes. I will pray God will give you the peace you need at this time and wrap His arms around you and carry you through this diffcult time. Stay strong and lean on Him, we all know that is what Edna would want us to do.
Love you all

Richard and family,sorry for your loss of a wonderful wife/mother/friend that we will always remember. Edna will be greatly missed by all her family and friends. We Loved her smile,her willingness to talk and lend a ear to listen and give her personal advise. I went to school with tommy years ago, but when I realized you guys owned/operated the full boar after talking to Edna, I was shocked, then in turn she let me know it was what she always wanted and it was her baby as she would often say . I felt a huge sense of love in her, especially when talking about her family and the trips to the mountains,vacations,holidays , etc. I will miss her greatly. RIP Edna, love you girl, your favorite customer. Jeff / Maria Crawford
