To the Edelman Family,
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your mother, Anna, and my cousin. The news was shared with me by Roxanne...Thank you for that.
I didn't get the opportunity to get to know her like I wish I would have over the years but I was able to see her at my cousin, Skeeter's, pig roast on Memorial Day in 2017. It was so wonderful to see her and other members of the family.
Rest in peace Anna and we will all see each other again in God's kingdom.
My Deepest Sympathy,
Joan Zopf

To the Edelman Family,
So sorry to hear of the loss of Anna! She was very special to the Our Lady of Hungary School community! I would always stop to chat with her when leaving the building after school, while she was caring for our After School children! The memories of your sweet mom will carry you through this time!
