Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Edith was such a wonderful person. She always had a smile and was an inspiration to those around her. My fondest memories of her are when she helped at VBS. Edith will be missed, but we know that we will see her again in Heaven.

She loved her God, was a devote fan of Country Music (Marty Stuart) and had a spirit for livin' life to the fullest. There was always a smile, a hug, kind words, a place to stay and something to eat for her lil' Brother. That's something that will always be cherished and missed. God bless the family and my deepest condolances for the loss of such a Great Lady and Big Sister!

Edith was an active member of the Ladies Fellowship of Faith at Faith Baptist Church. She will be so missed, but we know that we will see her again. We treasure the moments we had with her. I wanted to say that I'm sorry I won't be at the funeral. I'm in San Antonio with my daughter who had a stroke. I offer my heart-felt condolences and I want the family to know that you will be in my thoughts and prayers. God bless and comfort you all.
