To all of my cousins: My heart and prayers are with all of you. Aunt Edith was such an inspiration to me and all whose lives crossed her path.She truly lived her life always seeing the good in others, seeing the glass half full instead of half empty. What a joy she was, her smile and welcoming heart and unconditional love has beenso powerfull in my life.. It,s not so much what you say, reather how you live that speaks fo your life. She lived as one of the best examples of Jesus I have ever encountered. Love and blessing to all of you.
