Edna when you came home from the military and was with your mother; the two of you was studying together with Sis. Florence Davis I came with her on you all study. I found out that you was looking for you a place to live. An I told you about the apartment next to me you got right on it and got it and once everything was taken care of you being to move in and we became very close like real sisters. You would call me your road dog. When you and Bro. Turner started dating me and my children became your chaperone. Than you all had your wedding and you found another house moved in it but we were still best buds. You always look out for me especially when my son was killed you were there, when it came time for the assembly you mede sure I had away and when it came to the conversation you made sure that my room reservation was made and I didn\'t have to ask you; you would ask me. An I truly loved you for all the things you did for me and I will truly miss you for now. You\'re not in anymore pain your just resting. So bye for now I\'ll be waiting for my dear sister in PARADISE. LOVE YOU and MISS YOU
