I’m so glad I was able to visit Aunt Edna several years ago in the nursing home. She and my mother her twin sister played the piano beautifully and the day I visited her she was able to play enough to be able to recognize the song. She will be missed by family and friends. Much love to the family.

So sorry to learn of Edna's passing. My condolences to Debbie, Linda, Donnie, and Greg. I am so glad to have been able to visit with her a few years ago. She was my last first cousin on my mother's side and I feel great emptiness. We had such a great time when I spent my summers with Aunt Ruth and Uncle Tom as a little girl. I love all of you and am so sorry I wasn't able to be with you today.
