The letter was sent to the principal’s office after the school had sponsored a luncheon for the elderly. An old
lady received a new radio at the lunch as a door prize and was writing to say thank you. This story is a credit to all humankind.
Dear Kean Elementary:
God bless you for the beautiful radio I won at your recent senior citizens luncheon. I am 84 years old and live at the
Sprenger Home for the Aged.
All of my family has passed away. I am all alone now and it’s nice to know that someone is thinking of me. God bless
you for your kindness to an old forgotten lady. My roommate is 95 and has always had her own radio, but
before I received one, she would never let me listen to hers, even when she was napping. The other day her radio
fell off the nightstand and broke into a lot of pieces. It was awful and she was in tears. She asked if she could
listen to mine, and I told her to kiss my ass. Thank you for that opportunity.
Sincerely,
Edna
Have a good weekend all!

Edna is my girl. She kicks ass.
I can see myself as an Edna type in a couple of years. “I’m not as sweet as I use to be” – my favorite quote from Steel Magnolias.
