Not sure what to say?

Dear Kathy & family - I'm so sorry to hear about the passing of your mother. I remember what a sweet lady she was and she was such an awesome cook. Kathy I've been "searching" for you for a long time. Just saw your page on Facebook and sent you a message. I'd love to catch up with you after so many years. Much love to you and your family.

Edna was one of the most amazing, compassionate & sweetest person I've ever met. I met her while going to MGCCC. A few years later I was teaching motivational workshops & she had me teaching them from time to time to the participants of The New Horizons Program for Displaced Homemakers on the JD Campus of the MGCCC that she directed. Edna encouraged me, gave me pep talks, cheered me, & influenced me in so many ways. I will forever remember her, & thank her for motivating me in so many ways!...

Heartfelt condolences to your family during this grievous time of your life. May the comfort of God strengthen you. (2Cor. 1:4&5) ~I.Needham Birmingham, Al.

Tom, Beth, and Kathy - For some very important parts of my life, she was like a second mother to me and I can say with certainty that I would not be who I am today without the contribution she made to my life. Even as I feel the world a little dimmer today, I will try and reflect the light she brought to the world and help to carry on her work to make the world a better place.

We're so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I'm so sorry to hear this news. She will be missed by all of us who work for a better world.

Edna Boone. Oh, what a amazing lady. My admiration for her grew through the many years of her loving contribution in helping those in need. She will always be a shining light in my heart. Thank you Edna for the love you have given to so many. ~Else Martin
