Edna was a great neighbor for many many years. Always giving of herself, she loved her family beyond words. She also loved her Redskins. RIP Edna. Prayers for the family.
We are so sorry for the loss of Edna. She raised wonderful sons and was a grandmother to all of the Phetteplace children. Sending prayers to all.
Duck & Janet, Ronnie & Deborah: Edna was our dear friend and we will always remember sitting on our patio with a cup of coffee and good conversations. She was always there to help us as our back door neighbor. Rest in the arms of God my friend.
Janet & Duck,
I’m so sorry to hear about the passing of Edna. May you and your family find peace knowing she is now resting peacefully with the Lord.
To the family,
Please accept my heartfelt condolences on the passing of your loved one. It is evident, from the way she is spoken of, that she held a very special place in the hearts of those who knew her. Take comfort in knowing that, in this time of sorrow, God is aware of your trials and wants to be your primary source of comfort (2 Cor 1:3,4). He also promises that in the future, pain, suffering and death will be no more (Rev 21:4). Please keep these comforting thoughts in mind because they can help you to cope now and also give you a bright hope for the future.
