Love you girl and I will cont to pray for your family. Love, Courtney

Stacy and Morton family,
I can say from the bottom of my heart, Edna will be missed at the Robbinville Senior Center, but never forgotten!
Edna was such a gentle soul and was liked by all the seniors as well as the office staff.
I enjoyed knowing Edna for the past 11 years of working at the Robbinville Senior Center.
She was a "bright spot" on a gloomy day! I looked forward to her coming every Wednesday and Friday for nutrition and then she would stay and play BINGO.
The Morton family is in our hearts and in our daily prayers!

Edna Morton was one of the most amazing women I have ever known. I feel so blessed to have been a part of her life. From the very first time I met her, she made me feel like family. She was kind to all who knew her. She was full of life, laughter and brought joy to the lives of many. I only hope I can be half the mother and grandmother that she was. I am so grateful that my daughter got to know her great grandmother. We will always cherish the time we spent with her. She will be missed, but never forgotten.
