I never knew her personally but as a fellow school bus driver with the city of Va. Beach I remember and still have the article about her love for the children she carried to and from school . The impact of a great lady on the lives of thousands from behind the wheel of a school bus. My heartfelt sadness for the family and may God be with during these days.

I was so sadden to hear of Miss Edith's passing. I thank God I had an opportunity to see her when I visited Va Beach in April 09. Miss Edith and my mother, Helon Drain were childhood friends. Miss Edith has always been apart of my life. I thank God to have known this wonderful woman of faith,wisdom and love. May God strengthen and keep the entire family. God Bless.
