Auntie Edna,
A Smile and unbound positive energy you always gave us, my sister Michelle and the rest of our family to sum up all my emotions. I smile back at you with the happiest memories. I will miss you and always remember you for the unbridled fun you passed on with your laughter.
Whenever we would meet. You always showed me how happy you were to see me. I could always expect a little dance, then a big hug and a kiss. Our Auntie Mame!
How at every young age I knew you were a beautiful and wonderful force to be reckoned with! Especially when came to your relationship with my Uncle Joe Palazzolo You were the right Gal for him he always had a chuckle and a smile when you were around thanks for taking such good care of uncle joe.
You are one of the most exciting people I have ever met.
thankyou for lighting up our lives
Hugs smiles, and kisses fond memories.
