To this day I look out my window at Efith’s house and smile at the memories we shared there. I miss her stories and wisdom. There was no one like her!

Dear Dave, Mickey, Michael and Cathy
Your Mom/Grandmother was a wonderful woman with many interesting stories to share. I miss the times we sat at the house on Williams Road for hours talking. Edith had a love for life and gardening. I hope they have a "Garden of Edith" in heaven!
