I knew Edna and Bob back in the 70's when we were in CFM together. I remember them as intellectually curious, lots of fun, and very caring and accepting. They were somewhat older than I and gave me a lot to look up to and aspire to. I think the last time I saw them was at my 40th birthday party in the 80's but I think of them occasionally and always with a great deal of affection. God bless them both. My condolences and prayers.

My condolences to the Sjostrom family. Your mother, Grandmother, was a very good person and friend to many in the Beverly neighborhood. Especially the Quigley's. God Bless all of you!
