Another piece of my heart went to heaven today with my big sister. She was my best friend, she played such a vital role in raising me. I knew I could always count on her, for a shoulder to cry on, to tell her my problems & to always comfort & love me. The thought that I don't have her here with me / for me leaves a hole in my soul. But I know we will be together again one day! No more sorrow, no more doubts, no more pain or sickness. I can't help but be happy for her, even with the deep pain I'm feeling! R.I.P. Sis, your work here is done! You amazed me with your faith, compassion & strength! I love you to eternity! Your Susie

I'm so sorry we did not get the information to be at Edna's service. We loved Her and Dave so much and will always think of them as dear friends. So sorry for your loss.
