I am sure your precious Edith will always be in your hearts dear family, but remember God is here for you whenever you need Him, of that have no doubt. Right now He has such loving concern for your family in your bereavements. Psalms 55:22 states: "Throw your burden upon God Himself, and He Himself will sustain you." May our Heavenly Father continue to empower your family to endure and give you peace.
