    Edna was an amazing woman , she was hard working and deeply religous . We will truly miss her here at the Shalimar Gardens Memory Support. We had grown to love Edna and enjoyed caring for her . I will personally miss all the stories that she would share and the I Love you's that she gave . I hope they have lots of chocolate in heaven as this was one of her favorite things in life.
