My deepest sympathy to Edna’s entire family

She was special to me always had coffee and lunch occasionally at Kay’s Kitchen in St Joe and at Charlie’s Cafe in Freeport love you forever Edna

Our sympathy to the Kremers family. Will remember Edna as we had some good days and not so “good” days at the casino a few years back.

Auntie Edna was a great lady with a ready smile and warm hug whenever we saw her. She will be missed by many.

She was a special lady in my life. She was my godmother for 73 years.
