Our whole family was so sad to hear of Ms. Edna’s passing. My mom, Bonnie, works at Manor Care and they baked cookies together every week. She loved animals and always loved to pet my dog when I brought him in for a visit. She was a great woman and she is in a better place with her mom and husband.
Prayers and peace for her family!
