I will forever cherish my memories of Aunt Edna. Aunt Edna, and Uncle Herb (and their two beautiful daughter´s Joanne and Barbara) were an integral part of my early childhood. Heartbroken, but so grateful for the memories.

We are so sorry to hear of your Moms passing. We
Have had a very long relationship with your mom for more than 40 plus years in Mahopac NY . We are the owners of Yellow Shed Antiques and have had the unique joy of being a part of her Antique history. We learned so much from each other over the changes that life brought to all of us. Our sincere condolences to the entire family. Edna was a great part of our long history. We are still in business today and mention your mom quite frequently in reference to the fun and entertaining relationship that we all shared. We are grateful to have been a part of her life. Sincerely, Mark
