To the Entire Edna Hales/ Goodwine family
It’s truly been a blessing to know Edna not as a friend but more as spiritual sister.
We traveled so much over the highway thanking God for safe travel even though at one time a deer did jump out and hit the car but we were OK.
We've traveled for many many years together until this past year and a half we had our girls trip Edna, Darlene Bean, Denise Vaughn & I then Patricia Brunson.
Rest on my sister Edna
Memories forever in our hearts ♥ ❤
