Auntie Edith was much loved by our family for many years and is truly missed. She was a light in our lives and a great friend to my mother and to my father. We had lots of fun times over the years and we will always remember her smile and willingness to help. A great loss to us all. Our prayers are with Dick, Doug and Michael and their families.
