Edna was much more than just my cousin. She was a friend and at times, a second Mom. We talked two to three times every month. It was a conversation that I always looked forward to having. Edna loved the Lord and her family. We laughed at stories about her children, grandchildren, and her great-grandson. I'm already missing her. Fly high Edna. Fly high. Your cousin, Len Campbell in St. Louis.
