Mary would often visit Edna in her later years and during her battle with Cancer.
Edna's Family would like to "Thank"-Mary Virtue for all that she and Edna meet to each other-sisters-friends for life. We all need that special friend in our life but, not all achieve this in our life, but Edna did. Thanks to Mary.)
