May the Lord Comfort the hearts & minds of Edia's Family. Edia was such a kind and cheerful person. We met many years ago at work for the City of Gary. She was such a kind and cheerful person and Always had a smile on her face. So happy we ran into each other at the grocery store-We hugged & had a great chat. The world was a happier place because of Edia. Thank you for many happy memories. Rest in Peace Edia with the Lord.
