My sympathy to you Ian and Marj, Joan and John, Barb and Glen and your families. She became my best friend at M.L.C in 1939 and I spent many happy holidays at Leaghur and Barraport. The world seems a little lonier without her.
Very sorry to hear of Edna’s passing. She was a lovely lady and I have fond memories of delivering her groceries from IGA in Boort.
Condolences to Edna’s family and friends

My deepest sympathies to Joan and John, Ian and Marj, Barb and Glen and to all Edna’s family and friends. Edna was a wonderful Auntie to me and I will be holding her in my heart. I remember with love and affection playing with my cousins on Edna and Jim’s farm and how loving and kind Edna was to me and my family over many years. More recently, my memories are of having lunches with Edna and family in Bendigo and how joyful and kind Edna was us all.
Maxine and Ross Cooper, Tobe, Andrew and families.

With thoughts and hugs. Desma and Orlando
Deepest sympathy to Ian & Marg, Joan & John, Barb & Glen and families –
When we lose someone we love, we must learn not to live without them, but to live with the love they left behind.
Love Jeff & Fay
Edna and Jim were wonderful family friends and neighbours for many years in Barraport. We were a large tribe but Edna and Jim would have us all over for dinner at the farm house and if we were really lucky Edna would bring out her famous hedgehog slice. They were both wonderful people with big hearts whom we loved greatly.
Edna you will be greatly misssed but your legacy lives on in your wonderful family. Until we all meet again… much love Scott & Bronwyn Lanyon and family
