I remember Edna from way back in the fifties when she and my sister Jeanine were teenage best friends and remained best friends until Jeanine's death in 2002. That was the last time I saw Edna. She was such a pretty and gracious lady. So sad to hear of her passing. My condolences to her sisters, children, grand children and great grand children.

Edna and my late wife Jeanine were the best of friends since childhood. We had some wonderful times together both before and after she married Don in our home in Tucson.
They were great ladies. My thoughts are with the family.
