Mary and I are so sorry we cannot be there with you. I'll always remember Aunt Edna as a loving, smiling caring person who watched out for us. I remember as a child the family gatherings at her home and admired her for taking on so many people to feed. I loved her fried chicken with corn flake crust; have tried to copy that, but didn't come close. Hers was sooo good!! Our Love to you all and remember you're in our hearts and prayers.
