My deepest sympathy to all her family. She was a blessing to my mother when they shared a room at Pulaski Rehab. Such a Sweet Lady

We were so sorry to hear of Edna’s passing. We have been neighbors for 16 years. She was always a kind lady and always ready for a chat when we saw one another outside. She will be missed.
