Quiet, but not in her influence, classy, Aunt Enda didn't invent the word but defined it. I never heard her raise her voice, never remember anything but a sweet, subdued spirit. Uncle Alvin, Gary, and all the grandkids, I know you are so proud of her example and the lives she touched, though she is gone from this earth, she can never be forgotten, always cherished. Since I first heard of her illness, I never missed a day that I didn't pause to remember her and pray for victory over it, that her days living with it would go well. May God grant you His peace through the coming days and in the future. Love you all!

Mrs Edna was such a beautiful kind and loving soul. Her sweet and gentle spirit will never be forgotten because she was just that precious. Certainly a role model for her children and grandchildren and all of us to strive for. Thoughts and prayers for you all. Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
