Hard to find the words to say at times like this…I hope you know that you Edna have always been in my heart and my thoughts…Rest in peace and know that you are loved and will be missed … Love you
I am so sorry for your loss. Edna and I were so very close through high school a few years ago! When we met again at our 25th class reunion, it was like we had never been separated. That’s how friends are.
I am so sorry for your loss. You will be in my prayers. Edna was such a sweet lady. I know she will be missed by all who knew her.
I am sorry to hear about your lost. May God wrap his loving arms around Edna and take her home and comfort her. May his Angels come down and wrap their wings around you and your family and in your time of need.
I have such sweet memories of Edna. Back in the late 70’s/early 80’s, Nick worked in Texas with my Dad, Shorty Rogers. We had just lost my mom a while before, and Edna was so wonderful to me. She taught me how to make roast and gravy, and to this day, I think of her every time I make it. To Nick, Amanda and Lori, I pray that God grants you peace and comforts you during this time of loss. I pray that you will rejoice in the beautiful memories you have of your mom, and in the knowledge that the burdens of this life are no more. She is free of Alzheimer’s and pain and whole again. May God bless you all.
I haven’t seen EDNA in many years .she was a good friend and I know her family will miss her forever , the void she left will never be filled ,, REST IN PEACE EDNA
I haven’t seen her for a long time. Always wanted to go back and see all my cousins and their families. I will miss not seeing Edna but still plan to get down there again. RIP my beautiful cuz.
I know this is such a hard time for all of you. We have all sen Edna go through so much in the past few years and especially the past few months. Edna was such a “Special Person” to all of us and was always a good friend and someone to listen to you when you needed her. I will miss her so much but we all know that she is in a much better place now and she is well and with her family who is already in Heaven and I know my Dad was right there waiting to give her a big hug when she got there. Just know that you all are in our thoughts and prayers. If you need anything you know all you have to do is call us and we will be there for you. Love, Marsha, Dave and Ms. Peebles
