I will miss my friend and partner. I worked with Ms. Edna Nano for 5 years in the Mother's Morning Out Program at Salem. No one loved children more or loved life more than Nano. She was always the bright spot in my day. I loved seeing her and Mr. Raymond in the halls at Salem. They truly always showed their love for each and for God in everything they did.
