I would like to remember Edna as a friend as well as my Mother-in-law. We shared many deep conversations over the years. Bird always made you feel wiser than you were by how intently she listened to what you were saying.

Bird was a shinning example of what it was to be part of the “Greatest Generation”. Having lived through the challenges of the 2nd World War she had an inner strength that guided her to 97 years young.

As evidenced by some of the photos posted she had an inner grace that shown through. But one of her finest qualities was her ability to laugh at herself for her “Birdisms”.

Bird, I love you and will forever be a better man for having known you. Your friend Ray.
