Memories Timeline

Guestbook

  1. When I was 18 years old Edna and my Mother May painted the bedroom to be my daughter Jillane’s room. Edna also lent me a baby carriage. Her thoughtfulness filled my heart. She was one of a kind, and I will never forget her.

  2. I am Edna’s niece and along with my cousin Carolyn was a flower girl at her wedding to my Uncle Edgar when I was 3 years old. Although we hadn’t been in contact for many years, I have many memories of our times together when I was a young girl.

  3. Dear Gram, Thank you for the lifetime of memories you created for me. The Catskills, Cape Cod, Niagara Falls and the beach trips. You were always my soft spot to land when I needed a little extra TLC . A shoulder to cry on when my heart ached and the person I’ve laughed the most with my entire life. I’m so thankful that the last words we said to each other on Monday were ” I love you” . A piece of my heart left with you Tuesday morning never to return. I love you Gram , Rest easy 💔
