Your mom lived such a good life. What a great reunion she must be enjoying. She has been without your dad for a long time and I know how hard it was for her to lose Kathy. May the Lord's peace be with each of you.

To Edna's family and loved ones, I extend my sympathy for your loss. Edna lived a good long life. I cared for Edna for several months, since I worked for Cottonwood Heights Wentworth, where she resided for a time, and I also cared for her through my employer Silverado Hospice. I loved Edna. She was such a sweetheart! I looked forward to our time together and we used to love to sing together.
