"To all of the Yount family, please accept our sympathy for your loss. I only had met Edna for the first time, and that was the night she fell and broke her hip at the Open House. I felt so bad for her. You all are in our hearts and prayers... Mike & Janet Funk"

"Dear Uncle Dale, Evelyn & Steve, Elaine & Jim, Marilyn & Rick, Larry & Peggy, Ken & Jody, Kevin & Lori, I'm so sorry that you lost my Aunt Edna. Evelyn, thank you very much for your two calls to let me know. I told Mom about her passing Sunday morning. Uncle Dale, I hope you are doing okay...I'm so glad you are surrounded by your wonderful family! A memory that I will cherish forever is the wonderful visit Mom and most of us kids had with you all two years ago. It was so good to see Aunt Edna and all of you after so any years. God's blessings to each and every one of you! Paul & Wanda Merz"

"Hello loved ones, Oh, my goodness! Edna is gone. My, how I enjoyed growing up with Edna, although I was 5 years older. What a delight she was! Although we were separated by distance as we grew older, especially after we moved to Texas in the 60's, I am so thankful for her wonderful letters and beautiful cards that she so faithfully sent to me through the years. I will miss them so much! With much love, Sister and Aunt Emma"
