Edna has always been such a significant part of our lives for the last 21+ years. She is the first person in Martin County we ever met; quite possibly one of the best! She has been a friend, a mentor, a customer and a guiding example of how a mixture of good manners, focusing on the best side of everyone and being a true Southern Gentleperson impacts all she touched so wonderfully and positively!!
As was said at my wife's memorial service "today there is a large hole in our hearts from this loss...as time goes forward that hole in size will change and grow smaller...it will never close!" Edna I am a better person for having you in my family's lives...truly an Angel for me and my family!! I shall honor our friendship as I can each day!!

Edna and I work together at Wellman-Lord for several years and she was the most pleasant person I have ever worked with. I remember going to her apartment when she returned from a trip to Europe given to her by her sister and brother in law. She was so proud to share all her pictures with us. She will be truly missed by many family and friends.
