I'm looking at her photo, and just thinking what a great, kind, funloving lady Edie was. She was a bundle of energy! She was so kind and caring to all the patients at Willow Manor Nursing Home. We all loved Edie!! I'm sure her family misses her so much. Edie was a Special Lady. To coin a phrase from a song, "To know, know her was to Love, Love her", and that was the truth. God Bless Your Kind, Sweet, Loving Heart, Edie. Loved you, Nano

There's not too much for me to add that is different from my post on 3/20/2017. I could repeat forever how much I loved her, as did the whole crew at Willow Manor who worked with Edie!! She was a Beautiful Person inside & out. She was so kind to everyone, especially the patients, and they loved her for it. Edie was a Kind & Caring Person! I'm still using her recipes. Her coffee cake was to die for, it's my favorite!! I'm going to make it tomorrow. I live in Nashua, and had I know, or didn't see it in her original obit, would surely have gone to see her! God Bless You, Edie!! You are are one of Heavens Special Angels Love You, Nano

So sorry for your loss. I just read of Edies passing now, 3/20. I was a nurse at Willow Manor, and I remember Edie so well. She was an amazing lady in so many ways. Most notably was her caring and kindness to the patients. They all loved her. She would go out of her way, even when she was so busy, to tend to a need if it arose. Edie was always bringing in something she baked at home, and could she ever bake. And of course she always had something special for her patients. We all wanted her recipies. I still have mine, and think of her when I use one. I'm looking at her picture, and remembering the fun times we had. She had a wonderful sense of humor. I just loved her, as did everyone. She was truly special. God Love Her. God has gained a very special Angel!!
