Edna, I’m so sorry to hear you have left us but you have gone to a better and peaceful place. I will miss you each Sunday sitting in front of Bobby and me when we attended. Enjoyed our little talks. Now you can talk to God and see all the old members already there .
We’ll miss you.
Love Peggy and Bobby
