I am very sorry for the loss of your beloved Edna Daffron. I'm sure she will be missed greatly. She was very special because Psalm 90:10 says, "The span of our life is 70 years, or 80 if one is especially strong. " She was truly a strong woman. May the favor of Almighty God be with you all.
Sincerely,
Dianne
