My most sincere condolences to Edna’s family. We worked together at Dart for years, and after she retired, she was a “friend” on Facebook. We saw eye-to-eye on pretty much evreything. She will be missed.
Eternal rest grant onto her, Oh Lord
And perpetual light shine upon her.
May her soul and all the souls of the faithful departed
Through the mercy of God
Rest in Peace. Amen.
