Ms. Edna was the best flip lady in St. Pete and she had the sweetest personality. During the summer months was when I would stop to see her while at work. I'd buy flips for myself and my co-workers. After my shift, I'd go back and buy flips for my family. To the family of Ms. Edna, may the good Lord continue to Bless you all and Thank you for sharing her with the community. She will be missed. R.I.H. Ms. Edna
