I'm so sorry to hear of Edna's passing. She and Harold were dear friends of my parents. I have many wonderful memories of Edna and always enjoyed visiting with her and Harold. She was a very sweet, loving person. I know her family and friends will miss her dearly. I know she is with Harold and I'm sure they are playing "Quarter Quarter" with my parents in heaven. Much Love, Jerrie Franklin Muriel

Cheryl, I am very sorry you have lost your mother. I will always remember her. Especially, I have thought of her a lot these last 2 years. I very much wanted to visit her, but it just never worked out. I was happy to know her all those years ago that we worked in the same office together. Having her for a friend meant a lot to me. I wish peace and comfort for you and your family in this time of sorrow. Jeanie Holt

We knew Edna and Harold quite a while before we met their granddaughter, Michelle. She was to become our wonderful daughter-in-law. We cherish our memories of the whole family.
