Dr. James A. Edney

I have many great memories of Dr, Edney when he was my Chief Resident in General Surgery and I was a medical student at the VA in Omaha.

My love and prayers are with each of you in this painful time of grief.

Our hearts are heavy and cry with you for the loss of Jim, Jacob and Sara. Jim's keen intellect, perceptive understanding, endless humor and joy of life will be missed. My memories of Jim will be treasured. Our thoughts are with you and your family.
