Our sympathy goes out to the Metz and Sayers families. Edith was our neighbor for over 37 years. Our backyard faced the side of her house. She used to love to watch our Jack Russell terrier run around in the back yard. We will miss her in the neighborhood.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Metz and Sayers families. God will help you during this difficult time. I knew Edith through her late sister Ruth. I will always remember Edith for her sense of humor and how she was such a comfort to me many years ago when times were rough. She will be greatly missed.

Our thoughts and prayers are extended to the family of Edith Metz. I had the privilege of working with Edith for a number years while we were both with C&P/Bell Atlantic/Verizon. She was such a wonderful co-worker and friend. May God's comfort and peace be with you during this time.

To All Of Edith's Family,
I am so sorry to hear of Edith's passing because I know we all will miss her. But it is good to know that she is out of all pain now and with the Lord in paradise. Edith was such a good person and a dear friend to all, who were blessed enough to know her. I will never forget her and all she brought into my life. May God give the family and all her friends comfort and be with you during this difficult time.
