Crystal and Jan, I am so sorry about Mama Edie. She went home to be with her Heavenly Father. He has our # and when it is time for us to go home, He sends His Angels to bring us to Him. She is sick, no more, but happy and rejoicing…..I love you sweet Friends, and think of you often….Love & Prayers, Irene Robinson…..<3 <3 <3.
