    The light, love and grace of Jesus has always shown through Edna. I saw her faith carry her through the darkest of times. Now it has carried her through to Jesus. Thank you Edna for bringing grace into my life.

    Edna was a light in her world. The kind of light Jesus told his followers about. She believed in the power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to transform a life. Even in her darkest times of sorrow, pain or grief she chose to live in the joy of the Lord. To me she was a giant of a role model for living out your faith in Christ. And she always gave the glory to her a God.
