Aunt Edna was a sweetie and will be missed. We took corn on the cob to her in the summer as she enjoyed it so much. Will sure miss doing that. May God comfort each of you during this difficult time. Love you all Gwen, Brent and family

Tammy and Jeff--You may not remember me, but I was one of your English teachers at FCHS (and I remember both of you). Your mom sounds like a wonderful gal; I am so sorry you have lost her.

Oh Miss Edna! You will be missed! I told you how much I appreciated you and loved you Saturday, and I will never forget your response. I'm thankful to have known you for the short time I did. Catch ya later honey bunz!

Big momma, you sure were a special lady. One of a kind for sure. You always treated me like a son. I still remember our trip to the “city”. Now you’re back with big daddy in eternity. Deal ‘em up. Prayers for family and friends. 🙁

So sorry to hear about your mother,G.C.& Rhonda Spangler

Thoughts and prayers for the family. She will be missed.

My prayers go out to the Agnew family. My dad Ran McPeak was a friend of the family. I still have a truck we bought from the Agnew family 24 years ago. May God comfort the Agnew family in their time of loss.

R.I.P. dear lady. May God bless and comfort your family at this time. A long time friend, Lindell

May 9, 2024. Prayers for the whole family. I have known the Agnew family for many, many years. I would see Edna in Christiansburg at Country Kitchen . State Farm Insurance bought a lot of used parts off of Jim Agnew’s Used Parts between Christiansburg and Floyd. I watched Jeff race at Pulaski Speedway. I went with Jim and several others to the Daytona 500 several times. Edna will be missed. Glenn Cochran

I called my dear friend today for her birthday as I do every year. Phone disconnected. Only to find she was gone. My heart is broken. I loved her dearly. We had so many fun times working at the Country Kitchen. There will never be another Flo. I will miss her so much.
