Ralph,
I share your sadness, but I rejoice in the knowledge that your Mother is at peace. Aunt Edna was a wonderful, kind and loving lady. She was extremely proud of her family and she absolutely loved bragging about all of you.
Please lean on God during this difficult time and He will bring you peace.
Love you,
Joyce
