Edna, I am the grandson of Twanette Blender, a woman you met while your husband was serving in the Army. You were not closest of friends but when my grandmother passed I was left with this letter that made me wish I had met you, "Larry and Edna Newell are wonderful people. Since you found him so entertaining, I’m sure you would like Edna. Perhaps she will be joining him sooner or later, after the baby, Michal" Rest In Peace Edna. Your brightness brought smiles to many faces, including that of my grandmother. Thank you.

To The Mahoney Family, We are so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
