I was sorry to hear of Edna's passing. I remembered her as a 'cool' mom when we used to visit your old house back in the 60's. My condolences to the family and be comforted knowing this separation is only temporary.

Doug, Deb and the rest of the Schott family,
I know that there are no words to describe you loss. She was a wonderful lady and a true blessing to be around. I am sure that she will continue to take care of things through her spirit.
We will keep you and your family in our thoughts and prayers.

I first met Edna in the summer of 2005, when a job change brought us to Milwaukee. We were of like faith, and she welcomed me with open arms. I remember many Sundays, gathered with others in her living room, bumping into each other in her cozy kitchen as we prepared the meal and eating and visiting at the big table well into the afternoon. She and Don always enjoyed having their house filled with friends. They showed their love of God by sharing His love with others.
From my first conversation with Edna, and in every one thereafter, I heard her expressions of thankfulness and concern for her family, her beloved neighbors and her friends of many years. She actively cultivated friendships and never took people for granted. As I reflect on my short time with her, I am even more aware of the many times she made room in her day to call--just to see how I was doing.
We left Wisconsin in the summer of 2006. Edna would often say, “Some friends I have known for years and years. Others have passed in and out of my life in a short time. We just have to make the best of it.”
When I consider what Edna enjoyed most, I think of the good days for Don, crocheting, the cooking and sharing, hearing hymns sung and encouraging others. Edna enjoyed doing whatever helped someone else. She was unselfish, patient and loving. She had a healthy sense of humor, made the best of a good laugh and worked as much as her physical strength would allow.
In September, when we last talked, she was wondering about heaven. She and Don had recently attended the funerals for several more dear friends. She was so concerned about how to bring more happiness into Don’s life. We never had a visit when she didn’t say, “Don is so good to me. We have had a lot of good years.”
As I look at the brilliant clouds on the mountains this morning, I think of Edna’s freedom from all the cares of this world which she carried. I think of her in peace at the Master’s feet, singing hymns of praise with the angels. I think of her moving without physical limitations. The memories we shared for a short time come flooding over me. Since I can’t tell her how special she is and how much we will miss her, I share this with you, her family and friends. I know you feel the same way, and you have many more years of memories to review. We will be thinking of you as you gather this afternoon to remember the gift of Edna’s life. She made a difference.

Rose and Larry Janquart always looked forward to seeing Edna at the YMCA water exercise class. Edna always brought cheers and happiness to the class. Edna will be missed by our class members.
