I was once one of her Headstart students. She always remembered and had a beautiful smile for me. She has left a definite mark on my heart. Heaven has gained an angel.

Edna 'Peaches' , was my cousin, big sister, auntie, all rolled into one. What a sweet, sweet spirit! What a kind and caring soul, who brought us such joy and comfort. She has returned to Our Lord on the wings of angels. She will rest in everlasting Peace. Love, cousin Peggy

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
