My deepest condolences to the family of Edna. I met Edna & Ananda when they were visiting St. John Methodist Church in QC,Phils long time ago. I have heard a lot of good things about her & met several women who are now in leadership positions in Christian organization, whom she had mentored while she was with ISOT-Asia in Baguio City.

She will be greatly missed but her legacy continues in the lives of these women whom she nurtured in the Lord.Am sure she will hear from Jesus "Well done, good & faithful servant". See you later, Edna.
