We are keeping Edna in our prayers. She was such a warm funny person, so welcoming to the de Haan side of your family. Peter and Lisa will always have wonderful memories of how much she enjoyed getting together with them and Matthew. That little boy couldn’t have asked for a more loving great-grandmother, she always enjoyed his antics. Our hearts go out to you.
