To the Field Family,

I am sorry for your loss. Your mom baked the best pound cake! She and Ms. Elizabeth B. would talk whenever they could. My mother would say I've got to get around the corner to see her." But now they can see each all the time! My prayers are with you!

My sweet, sweet Aunt has paid her dues and will await to hear her name called when the resurrection begins. My heart is heavy, but I have faith that we who are left behind awaiting the our day of reckoning will see her again. Until we meet again Aunt Edna... my love always and forever. Amen, amen.
