Dearest Sonny and Family, I cannot remember anyone with more spirit and love of our Class of 61! She was an icon, and beloved at Martin, and by all our classmates until the day she passed on to the loving embrace of our Lord. How I will miss her. God bless you, Charlotte Compton Larson

Juan Manuel and I want to extend our sincere sympathy and condolences to Sonny and the Medrano family. We still remember just like yesterday our Martin High School days where we met Edna. She was always a dear friend, a life time friend...Go Tigers.
We are more than positive that the Lord made a special place for her in heaven and all her worries and concerns are at peace.

Juan Manuel and I want to present our condolences to the Medrano Family. Edna was a great friend since our High School days at Martin High (Go Tigers).
Let us remind you that the Lord look around his garden and found an empty place.
He then looked down upon the earth and saw your tired face.
He put His arms around you and lifted you to rest.
God's garden must be beautiful, He always takes the best.
He saw the road was getting rough, and the hills were hard to climb, so He closed your weary eyes and said "Peace be Yours."
It broke our hearts to loose you, but you didn't go alone.
for part of us went with you the day God called you home.
Rest In Peace
