I was fortunate enough to spend many Christmas eve celebrations for several years with Aunt Edie at Amy and Paul's. She was always the life of the party.. full of humor , love , laughter and fun. A great lady who touched so many lives that will be sorely missed. My family extends their sympathies to all of the family members.
