Edna was, by far, my favorite resident at The Hearth on James. She was the sweetest and most caring lady I’ve had the pleasure of knowing. I loved sitting with her and listening to stories about her family and the vegetable farm. Rest in peace beautiful lady. They don’t make em like you anymore. You will surely be missed.
