I know my mom, Viola Edwards, will really miss your mom. Your mom was so faith in calling my mama since her fall last September. As I listened to them talk, it was hard to believe that this friendship was made in school and continued for 62 years after graduation. May the wonderful memories you have help you through your time of sorrow. May God Bless You! Robin Edwards Whitley
