WE EXPRESS OUR SYMPATHY TO ALL OF THE FAMILY. WE WERE ONE OF HER NEIGHBORS.

January 2, 2010

To Mrs. Edna Hunter's Family:
Mrs. Hunter was a very "special person" to me here at the FMC Dialysis
Center where I work as the Secretary.
She was a great patient and I know all the staff thought so much of her.
I can't tell you how much I ALWAYS enjoyed the times I would have a few minutes to go out into the patient's waiting room and just chat with her. She was a joy to know and had such a good outlook on life! I can only imagine all the good time stories she
would have to tell. She was a real sweety and I feel so privilege to have
known her. My sympathy goes out to each of you.

Grandma I will miss you so much. No one knows the joy and love you made me feel for the past 17 years. As JustinRyan told me you are an angel now and you are around us watching over us. We love you from the earth to the stars. You will forever be in my heart.

As my sister-in-law's mother, she was a part of my family for many years. We have many happy memories of time spent with her. She will be missed, but we know she is in a better place, and we will see her again some day. Condolences to the family and those who love her. Linda (Stiglich) Wigington and husband Randy.
