My maternal great-aunt
My great-aunt Edna may have been tiny in stature, but she certainly made sure everyone knew how she felt. It seems to me most of the women on my mom's side really didn't have to say much, they just had a certain LOOK and you knew what it meant. She was a deeply religious lady and went to church every Sunday until she was unable. She was very
special to our family....
