Sad News About Edna

Post by Ian » Tue Nov 24, 2015 2:01 pm

Geoff (g8dhe) has asked me to pass on the sad news that Edna (Evil Edna) passed away on Sunday night after a long illness. Those of us that knew her always appreciated her tireless enthusiasm at the Bongo meetings, especially at the Bash in the knit-and-natter sessions.

She will be sadly missed. :cry:

Please pass on my condolences to Geoff and the family.
As said on facebook, we shared the same birthday and born in the same year.
Will miss her enthusiasm at the stitch and bitch and her happy face at the bashes.
Carry on crocheting Edna where ever you are and keep up the stitch and bitch.

That's dreadful news Ian :shock: She will be sadly missed by me, and the many others that gathered around her and Geoff for a good old chin wag :(
Sincere condolences to Geoff.

So very sorry to hear this sad news

Edna was a wonderful lady and Sue particularly enjoyed her company at the knitting circle, she made it one of the most popular events at the National.

Condolences from both of us.

RIP Edna.

Saddened to hear of Edna's passing, only saw her at the bongo bashes, a real larger than life character. :(
