NORMAN — The first thing anyone noticed about Markita Edwards was her smile.
Bright and infectious, Markita's warm smile could put a stranger at ease with just the twitch of her lips.
The minute that T'ona Edwards curls the corner of her lips and parts her mouth to reveal a mouthful of white teeth, it's obvious that she's Markita's daughter.
Like her mother, T'ona has the same kind of infectious energy, the kind that can help even the most negative person see the silver lining — no matter how faint the glimmer.
The pair smiled and laughed frequently, their relationship existing far beyond familial constructs.
