Ken, Lanny and Family, You are all in our thoughts. We know how much "Aunt Edna" meant to all of you. She was a very strong woman who loved life and loved her family even more. Take care of each other and talk of her often so that you can remember the good things she brought to your lives.

To The Family,
Edna was a wonderful strong lady who loved her whole family and was always so full of life. Hopefully we can always remeber how close she was to family and how that is the most important thing in this life. Edna proved to me in the short time i knew her that her family and keeping them together was what kept her going. She will me missed very much.

To Edna's family,
My deepest sympathies over the loss of this wonderful woman. During her short time in our unit I had many terrific conversations with her about many of you and her life in general. She was both humorous and insightful, and touched me greatly with her dignity and wisdom.
God bless her and all of you.
Sincerely,
Allison Black, RN
