Mrs. Young was one of the Teachers that impacted my life at a young age and taught me to be a strong independent woman early in life. Thanks for your gracious gift of life.I'm forever grateful.Life is eternal, and love is immortal,and death is only a horizon.Oh heart, if one should say to you that the soul perishes like the body, Answer that the flower withers, but the seed remains.

Your mother was a wonderful teacher and I truly appreciated her when she was teaching my daughter at Stephens Elementary in the 1980's. Such a long time ago and yet it only seems like yesterday. Bonita you were such a little thing - such a sweet smile just like your momma's...May Ms Edna rest in peace with the Lord and may her family have peace of mind and understanding.

No matter how old we are,
Losing a mother is one of the deepest sorrows a heart can know,
But her goodness, her caring and her wisdom live on,
Like a legacy of love that will always be with you.

Troy/Siblings: "Edna" is in the best possible place to be---in God's memory. Those who never got to know her personally will see her in the "New Paradise Earth" soon to come, Acts 24:15.
God needed another beautiful flower in his marvelous garden, and He came and plucked one of his best. "Edna" fought a good fight---and kept her faith. May she rest in peace and may God comfort your family during your bereavement.
She has entered the Pearly Gates where she is welcomed by Daddy Burroughs delivering the word of God, Mother Pearl clapping her hands & praising God & Willie Mae singing, & Edna joining in with, "There Is A Sweet-Sweet Spirit"---welcome home!

"The battle has been fought and the victory has been won"! It seems like it was only yesterday when we took trips to Chicago, Miami, etc. and shared so many special memories. You always considered me to be like another daughter to you!
To Troy, Tony, Jamie, and Bonnita - I love you all and stay strong!
