I will always remember you. My Dear MaMa enjoyed your friendship, and I pray you both have reunited in Heaven🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽

I met Edna through my late Beloved Mother Shirley. They played bridge together, and quickly became friends. Upon meeting Edna, I knew why she and my Mom clicked. Edna was sharp in mind, and was always dressed so elegantly. I was amazed by her ability to text me, something I have trouble with! We had many chats, phone calls and texts to one another. My last call, Edna informed me she was at Salude Rehab Facility. I went to visit with her the next day after that phone call. We had such a lovely visit. She was concerned that she didn’t look her best. I told her she looked beautiful as always. I’m so grateful for our time that day. I miss hearing her voice, but I will forever remember her spirit, and all she shared so freely. Enjoy Paradise Edna!
Sending love and comfort to her family.

Our deepest condolences to the entire family during this time.  It was always a pleasure to spend time with Edna; full of life, wisdom and wonderful stories.  

When I sit back and think about my first encounter with Edna, I remember being enlightened by her spirit and inspired by her energy. Even in her 90s, she proved herself to be witty and sharp.  I'm grateful to have met her, and I hope to live my life as youthfully as she lived hers. 

Edna & Jim were great friends of my parents John & Mae Jones during their many years in Venice.   On our visits south with our kids & grandkids, we all had the good fortune of getting to know them.  They truly inspired us in our years of camping & exploring the country's national parks.

After the passing of Jim & my folks, I continued to keep in touch with Edna by phone and with short visits on our way either to or from Florida.   Edna was amazing!!!  She was sharp as a tack, delightfully funny, and oh, so perceptive! 

 We are SO grateful that we decided to stop to see Edna at her rehab facility on the way TO Florida this year. . .  last Friday, January 31st. . . . I found her on an exercise bike working with an OT.  . . .talking, smiling and "bragging". . .quite  proud that she was doing this without her oxygen!  We will miss her.

Jim & Diane Brandt & Family (Adam, Sarah & Lindsay)

Jim and Edna were close friends of ours. We loved them from day one. We were partners in our sailboat, the "Wayward Lady".  Edna was our  navigator on all trips.  Our layovers had to have a tennis court and a bridge table. 

Edna never needed glasses, and she had great legs.   I would tease her and say, "Edna, I love your eyes and your thighs".

Sleep well, dear Edna, you will be in our hearts and thoughts forever.  

Jim and Dorothy Gauvreau.

She was a ray of sunlight everytime I saw her.  I will never forget the great conversations we had,  I will miss you. To David and his family my thoughts and prayers are with you. I wish you great peace and comfort at this time .  Always, Robert Barmore

Wow.....Seems unreal.  You will be missed so much. 

From the day that I first met you, you became  like a second Mom.   Your wisdom and knowledge were impeccable.  It seemed as if you had extensive knowledge of every topic.....from theater to sports.  I've never met any senior lady that knew so much about college sports and players' names (LOL.....a lot more than most men).

I will forever cherish the memorable moments filled with witty chats, words of wisdom,  dinner at Salts and other restaurants....just our time together "mom".  I love you dearly!

p.s. I will help take care of Bei Li (she senses that you are not here and I can tell that she misses you too).
Rest in Peace......Pat

Mom was celebrated for 81 Mother's Days.  Over the last 11 we spent together, we always did something special.  I think her favorites were the days spent in the North Georgia Mountains recharging our collective batteries with the bright sunshine and beautiful spring scenery driving around Dahlonega, Blairsville and our beloved Suches, Georgia where so many great memories were made by the entire family.

Our sympathy to the Turpen family.   She was one classy lady!  Sending our thoughts and prayers. 

So sorry to learn of  Edna passing.   She had a great love for her family.

One of the absolute sweetest souls I have ever been so very fortunate to meet. To have only met her once, I have felt as though I have known her my entire life.

You've inspired so many generations to live life like Ms.Edna.

Life is a journey, each day a new adventure, one day at a time. 

I may have known Mom for a short time but she made a bigger impact than a lot of people that I've known much longer.  We bonded quickly! Witty one-line jokes, sharing stories, having something in common we could share together.....cinnamon tea. We would boil water for each other, sip our tea, and encourage one another with short pep talks. Instantly, she became my second Mom from day one. The little time I had to share with Mom made it so deep in my heart, that she will be there and cherished forever

Larry and I remember sharing wine and a political  discussion right before the 2016 election.  We were all on the same page!   She was so much fun.  I remember some events in Trotwood when we were in high school and Jamie was a little kid.  The big back yard on Free Pike...
I’m so glad your mom and I got to text on Saturday.   We texted about Barbara Bush and what a great lady she was.  Your mom was just as great.  
Laura and Larry
