Please accept our deepest sympathy in the loss of your mother (grannie edie), she was a very unique lady.We will miss having her for Sunday breakfast with us, always coming with a bag full of goodies for everyone just like she was Santa Claus. I'm sorry for our grandchildren that they only got to have her for such a short time but the memories she left them I know will last forever.
