We like to honor the outstanding individuals, families and employees of MCBDD and sometimes that means saying good-bye to those who are moving on. Edna Fenton was recognized by the MCBDD board recently for her 21 years as a bus aide. She accepted her certificate from Superintendent Bill Whitacre, and in return, she shared a poem she wrote about her time here.
My name is Edna.
My friends call me Ed.
In August of 1998 I came to MCBDD
and was hired the next month
I have worked here for 21 years
But I began in Trumbull County
I was sitting with one of my kids, Mike
He touched my upper lip.
and said, "you have a mustache."
I said, "Yes, I do."
He smiled, hugged me and said, "I love you"
Mike melted my heart
That is why I work on the bus.
I am truly BLESSED!
I have no kids of my own.
But these clients are "my kids"
and I will miss them all!
I am going on a new adventure with the Lord.
I hope to spend more time at church,
writing poems, reading a good book,
or doing a jigsaw puzzle.
Wherever the Lord leads me, I will go.
We at the MCBDD wish you all the happiness retirement has to offer you, Edna!!!
