    Edna was a very nice person. I remember one of my visits with her at her house where we listened to one of her records on her record player. I think it was the Sweet Adelines. Edna was always very nice to me.

    I just heard from Mom and Dad of your mothers passing. I am so sorry. Dad would like to be there for the services but that is impossible with his current health. When we talked about her passing, I asked him if he was ok with it and he said that all he had to do was just think about all of the good times they had as children and it made him feel ok.

    My sincere condolences,
    Ward, Trish and family.
