My dearest Auntie 😭 I’m going to miss you so much. You made me smile with your big smile every time I walked in your room. I’ll cherish our last days with you. No more pain & suffering, we know you were ready to go on your journey. So much memories… when James & Danny danced in the pow wow circuit, we traveled together. I love you Auntie!! RIP

Diana and James. I was saddened to get the news than aunt Edna had left on her journey home. I didn’t make it to see her that morning. I am grieving the loss of your beloved mother and grandmother. She was my moms sister and she visited quite a bit in Lame Deer. Edna was much loved and will be missed. I will tell you stories about her and her mother Mary when I see you. God bless you and keep you in his care .
