Andy and family so sorry to hear of Edna’s passing. She was a very special person always loving and caring for the children that she taught. I always enjoyed singing with her and Doc in choir and later being her choir director. We know that she is now healed and rejoicing with the Lord. We know we will see each other again one day. Each of you will be in my prayers that God will comfort and bring healing during this time.
Precious memories how they linger 🎵
Mrs. Becker was JUST RIGHT. Genesis 1:26_27. She was a Moms at Prayer Warrior, and classroom mom at ACA.
She sat with me at St. Joe’s Critical Care
Unit while my husband was a patient
Praise God for bringing Andy into Deleon’s life at ACA. A favorite photo is Andy, Deleon and the go cart in Kenilworth. Thank you Andy for visiting Deleon’s dad at St. Joe
to have prayer. Thank you Lord for the gift
of the Becker Family. James 1:17
Although, I never taught during the same tenure as Edna, she always visited and ACA and was so kind and encouraging. She was always taking pictures, writing hand-written notes and cheering for her fellow teachers. I have thought of her often over the years and was always thankful to have a kindred spirit in the world of teaching! She was a joy & delight! We are so sorry for your loss but encouraged that one day we will see her again in our heavenly home.
