JUST GOT THE SAD NEWS THAT ANNIE EDELSTON LOST HER LAST FIGHT WITH CANCER.SHE LEFT US FOR WHAT I CALL THE BETTER PLACE WHERE THERE IS NO SICKNESS AND NO PAIN.
SHE WAS VERY DEAR TO ME, WE WERE TOGETHER ON THE RINGLING CIRCUS AND ALSO ON THE POLACK SHOW WHERE SHE WORKED WITH US IN THE ALBERTO ZOPPE RIDING ACT, SHE WAS ALSO A GREAT FLYER AND WILL BE REMEMBERED FOR ALWAYS.
REST IN PEACE MY DEAR DEAR FRIEND
FOR EVER JENNY WALLENDA
We have lost one of the dearest, most loved members of our circus community, and our hearts go out to Willie, and the Edelston family. We feel your loss.
REST WELL ANNIE.

Our deepest sympathy to Willie and family. Fond memories of trouping together on Gil Gray show and years here in Sarasota and at the"club". Such A nice person, with sense of humour and quiet unassuming personality.
Very nice of you to take time to prepare such a nice tribute Bill. Am sure Annie would have liked that. Irving Berlin sure got it right." There's No People Like Show People". Rest in peace Annie. Mary Ruth and Johnny and family
We send our deepest sympathy to the Family....They were a lovely couple and it was heartwarming to see how Willie took such tender care of his beloved Annie.
