Dear Peg and Family,
The passing of Edna in many ways denotes the end of an era. One where family came first, principles and morals were important, and hard work was not bad. Edna was a tough lady who stood up for here principles and family.
She will be missed in so many ways and areas of your lives, but she no longer suffers. More importantly she is walking the streets of gold with Jesus.
May his peace and comfort be with you during this stressful time. Remember, God loves you and so do we.
