My dear Aunt Edith…what good memories I have of many summers in Norwalk. Feeding hibiscus to a big turtle, learning to knit on a spool and four nails, Aunt Edith getting Uncle John to dance his fingers across the breakfast table for me. She was a very good example of someone who honored her Mother, as God has commanded. Rena you have followed that example and cared for your Mother just as she did hers. I was in a funeral today and this thought was presented: the family this side of Heaven is getting smaller but on the other side getting bigger as more are received into the Heavenly home that Jesus has prepared for those who trust in Him. Love to you all , Sheri
