I am so sorry to hear of Miss Edna’s passing. I do agree with the statement that she was one of the best Sunday School teachers ever! My grandmother loved her, too, and I like to think they are together now and having a great chat! My love and prayers to her family as well.
we are so sorry to learn of Edna’s passing. The air weather people have missed her at the dinner meetings in the last few years, but always spoke of her kindness.
My thoughts and prayers are with you in the loss of your precious Aunt Edna. She meant so much to so many people and was faithful in both big and small things. She will be greatly missed.
We are so sad to learn the passing of Miss Cook.Are deepest thoughts and Prayers are with you and your Family .May God Bless and watch over your Family in this time.

Words can not begin to express my deep admiration for the Christian witness diplayed by ‘Miss Edna.’ She was a true disciple of Christ and worked tirelessly for his church at Trinity. She was one of the greatest Sunday School teachers a kid could ask for. Her kind manner and her zest for life were evidenced as I would see her striking out up Haywood Road from her home on Pennsylvania Avenue in route to the church or some other place.
A great lady had left us and has joined the heavenly choir. My thoughts and prayers to Tommy and Rachel in your loss. The entire Trinity family has lost a friend.
Thinking of you and remembering you in prayer.
