Edna and I were best friends in Spencer School,played basketball together,and after graduation, we went to nurses school and were room mates for the first nine months until she dropped out to get married. I became a nurse and married Dan McCoy, one of our mutal boyfriends in high school. I lost track of Edna when she went to Ohio. I was sad to hear of her death.
