A beautiful lady with a family she was so proud of! God Bless You in your time of grief. She surely rests in the arms of the Lord. Page Ave. fosters our family's greatest memories; she was a part of that.

Edna was the perpetual "big sister" to the generations of our family starting with my dad right up through her great nieces and nephews. She was my great "young" aunt who refused to show her age. Thank you Edna for being you and for all you did for all of us. God be with you and rest in peace.

Edna said she was going to live to be a hundred & with all her energy, we all thought she would.. God is good. She lived a long full life & died at home as she always wished. Edna was like a sister to Joe. We all loved her. She will be missed. May she rest in peace. Dorothy & Joe Kuzminski
