Uncle Raymond,Debbie,Dawn and families
I am so sorry for your loss. I have lots of fond memories of Aunt Edna and will always cherish them. I pray that God will bless each of you and see you through this difficult time. Aunt Edna is now in a better place and you don't have to watch her deteriorate more and more everyday. I know all to well how hard that is to do. If there is anything that I can do for any of you just let me know. Girls take good care of your Dad I know it is going to be very hard for him for a long time. Love to each of you and may your memories of Aunt Edna keep her ever near.
