I am truly saddened to hear of the passing of my dear friend, neighbor and adopted cousin Edwina. I will miss the many visits, chats, and laughs with this sweet traveling woman. She never met a stranger, traveled well and enjoyed life to the fullest despite any health issues. I can still see her "sashaying" around the house, simply being busy... Rest now my dear friend. I'll always cherish our visit on last week and how you worried about me getting wet in the rain, while leaving. Edwina was always concerned about the well being of others...always. Enjoy Heaven My Friend!! I miss you already.
