Edna was a very good friend of my parents. She was a very special friend to my mother for many years. So very sorry Tommy, Chuck and Kenny for the loss of your beautiful mother. She was so lucky to have had three nice sons who loved her dearly. She will be missed by many.

I grew up and played softball with Tommy. Mr and Mrs. were always so supportive to all the kids. What great parents the children were blessed to have.
