To Kathy, Rick and family: I was saddened to hear of your Mom's passing. She was a very special part of the Bratcher family for many years. Edna and Oscar truly loved the Lord and never lost sight of who directed their lives. Her Love of the Lord; children, grandchildren and friends was the essence of her being. My life has been richly blessed by her and I know we will meet again. My love and prayers are with each of you during this difficult time. Edna would want us to celebrate her life today and as hard as that is I will try and honor her wish. Love, Charlene Griffis

Edna was a very special lady. I loved her and Oscar very much. One thing you always knew for sure about Edna was where she stood with our Lord! She was not ashamed to let people know they needed the Savior. When I first met her at Tabernacle almost 40 years ago, I liked right away! My mother was hundreds of miles away and she just stepped right in and filled the spot. I'm grateful for her testimony as a Christian and know that I shall see her again.

Kathy and family, What a pleasure it was to know your mom. A woman of God who love to laugh, never a bored moment with her. Must I say she was a "HUGE KATHY WALKER FAN" and so are we, so we had great conversations. Can you fathom how happy she is now with this new body?? WOW!!! I've been missing her presence for a while, as I am sure you have missed her more. Just know what you have to look forward to. Thanks for sharing such a beautiful woman. Love Ya! Ida, Angie and Ariel Thomas

Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Fouts extended family as we join in mourning her passing and in celebrating her life. May the love that surrounds you be a source of comfort to you all. We did not know Edna well, but we DO know that she raised two of the finest gentlemen (and gentle men) that we know in Kerry and Kenny. May she rest in peace.
With love and sympathy,
Connie and Ralph

Edna would light up any room or anyplace that she walked into. Her presence was refreshing with lots of laughter. My more recent memories of her were our Searcy family reunions at Hickory Point, Lake County. She brought enough food for everybody, even though we always brought food to share, too. Her bubbly personality, laughter and talk of sports, are great memories. I have missed being with her for too many years.
I love you, Edna Jewel.
See you in Heaven one day,
Martha Searcy Bullard

I didn't know Ms Fouts personally
but I still wanted to give my regards to the family. In times of loss and sorrow I've found that the bible gives us comfort and hope. An encouraging verse is found
at First Corinthians 15:21,22-"For
since death is through a man, resurrection of the dead is also through a man. For just as in Adam
all are dying so also in the Christ all will be made alive." Jevon--Winder, GA
