Edna was my grandmother. She was so devoted to life. She believed above all else in family, no matter if you where blood, or just an additional . She taught me to be me, and to believe in myself. My grandmother had a heart of Gold. She very active at the vfw, and as a lion. She loved to camp, fish, and spend Holidays with family cooking very big meals...This is not goodbye for me, this is only goodnight. I will always love and miss her.
