We were all blessed to have Elda Redmann in our lives. She lived as a shining example, an endlessly quiet presence. She was busy living her life as a wife, mother, nurse, and caring for the legion of people who depended on her. She was a combination of faith, experience, wisdom, wonder and intelligence. The lessons she taught us were how to live in God's light, how to act with virtue and how to lead an admirable, compassionate life in the service of others.
