I think of Edie quite often -- she was one of my best friends ever. So sweet, funny, wise, and FUN! Gosh, she was fun! And such a kindred spirit for me. I was nourished by her deep faith and spirituality. I will never forget her. I hope that Don and Michael and Amanda and family are doing well.

Just heard of Edie's passing. We worked together at FDIC and my fondest memories are those times when she was preparing for her annual charity event and our all you can eat crab nights at Mike's. Your name alone brings a smile to my face. My prayers are with your family during this difficult time.
