Edna was one of my favorite clients. I looked forward to shoveling her house. She would peek out the door we would talk about how she was doing and how things were going for me. She would always have a treat for my crew and myself. Before I knew her name she would always give us chocolate when we shoveled for her so I called her "the chocolate lady" for at least 7 years. This summer I stopped at her house to see if her lawn had been mowed and it had but she came out to talk. She said that her daughter should let us mow it but she really enjoyed doing it. I hope I can still mow my own lawn at 89. She was amazing. I feel blessed to have had Edna in my life even though I would only see her 1 or 2 times a month. She was an amazing woman.
