The Heavenly Choir has another member and what a beautiful voice it has. When I think of Cousin Edna, A smile comes to my face because she was the lyrics to the song that bought joy, peace and comfort into any situation. You knew once Cousin Edna arrived on the scene that everything was going to be alright. Cousin Edna carried the light of Jesus Christ everywhere she went, a Faithful Mighty Warrior in the Army of the Lord, and the life she lived is a testament to this fact. There is a crown waiting for you Cousin Edna, and it shines as bright as your smile. You will be missed but we will see you again.
