My lasting image of Aunt Edie will always be of her warm, genuine and inviting smile. She was truly a special person who influenced me - and many in my family - by her positive outlook on life and her love of her family. We all loved her and will miss her, and thank God for her presence in our life.

While it has been years since I have seen "Nana" some of my fondest early childhood memories are from her house in Norwood. She was a woman of exceeding kindness and brought joy to those around her. Please accept my heartfelt condolences on this tragic loss.
With fondest regards, Nancy Cremins

How can one put into words how sorry you feel? Everything just doesn't seem right; just doesn't express exactly how I feel. The memories I have of "Nana" through the years are funny, warm, and loving. She will be missed by so many. My sorrow for your loss is so deep. You are in my thoughts and prayers. All my love, Alecia and family

Dear Millie & Family - I can't express enough how sad I am at Edie's passing. She was such a wonderful woman, so full of life and always smiling. I will never forget how generous and kind she has been to me and my children. My house is full of her artistic window treatments. Her talents were amazing. I will cherish those afternoons we had together in the past and the lunches we shared. I will remember her always with love.
All my best to you and your family at this time - Lorrie Langton
