I was sorry to hear "Aunt" Edna had passed away. My sister and I knew "Aunt" Edna and Gene most of our lives.
He was in the Navy with our Dad. After Gene was out of the Navy, they stayed close friends and they
came to our house often. We last saw "Aunt" Edna when she was living in the Apartments in Virginia. After she moved to Ohio, passed cards and letters back in forth. We will miss her.
