I will never forget Edna (Eddie as we called her) I lived with her while I was in high school and she is such a sweet woman and always ready to lend a helping hand, a quick smile, a witty remark and just a super woman. I am so sorry she is gone but she is now walking with the Lord whom she worshiped soooo much. We will miss you Edna but I know you will be just fine in heaven. Ed I am so sorry and should you need anything just holler.
