Auntie Edna

Auntie Edna, a photo by Jillian DIxon on Flickr.

I have been going through some of the personal items that Auntie Edna had with her at the residential home. There are lots of photos and diaries. . one diary was written in the days before Uncle Jack died and is very upsetting to read. The same diary is also packed with poems and words of encouragement. . all in her beautiful handwriting.
There is also a Mothers Union brooch and a Mothers Union Service Book. During their early marriage Auntie Edna and Uncle Jack lost two babies and it was a terrible time for them both. They however went on to become family and friends to so many people and brought so much fun and kindness into other peoples lives. I find Auntie Ednas involvement with the Mothers Union very moving and to me it sums up what a wonderful person she was. x
