Not sure what to say?

I recall Mrs. Brantley from the '70s, when I would go to Maurice's house after school at Doolen Jr. High. She was welcoming and kind. I recall the sense of having a sharp eye on me, as though she was really seeing me. I recall seeing her at a church service 40 years later; she was just as happy to see me then, and just as engaged.

Best wishes on The Other Side, Edna, and good luck.

With love,

Liz Fairchild

I am fortunate to have met Edna back in the 90s; planning Maurice and my trip to England and Scotland, she was very helpful. My condolences to the family.

I worked for the Victim Witness program in the early 80's when Edna was a volunteer. She was full of kindness, encouragement and warmth. One always felt welcomed when she offered her smile. We are all diminished by her passing. My condolences to her family.

I always enjoyed being around Great Aunt Edna and Great Uncle Maurice when I was young. They were so nice to me. Aunt Edna was always smiling and happy. All my love and prayers to the family. We will see her again.

I would like to send my deepest sympathies to your family. Mrs. Brantley was my teacher at Secrest Middle School in Tucson Az in the 80's. I remember her fondly and thought of her often. She was a warm and caring woman and I always looked forward to her class. She always had a smile and cared deeply about her students. I always wished I had gone back and visited her after I moved on to high school and in life. She made a difference in my life as I am sure did in all the lives she touched....

I'd like to express condolences on behalf of the Victim Services (formerly Victim Witness) Division of the Pima County Attorney's Office. While I did not know Mrs. Brantley personally, I know that it takes a very special person to do the work we ask of our volunteers, and I am deeply grateful for her selflessness in serving crime victims. Our hearts go out to her family.
