I would like to express my deepest sympathy to you on the loss of your loved one. During this most difficult time, trying to find comfort can be very hard. Please know that God cares for you, and He will give you the peace needed to endure.(Phillipians 4:6,7)

I will truly miss Edie in many ways, mostly for her musical talents and especially in the LOW Jubilates Bell Choir. She was a great bell ringer for many years and will be missed at Lake of the Woods. My condolences to her daughters, son-in-laws and grandchildren. May you find comfort in knowing she is in a better place.

I was so saddened to hear of the passing of you dear Mother. Edie was truly a kind, gentile woman...so many accomplishments...a wealth of hopes and dreams fulfilled...days and days well lived and now a legacy to celebrate.
May your Mother rest in peace back in the arms of her beloved Stu.
May the loving memories of the gem that was your dear Mother ,encourage all who knew and loved her.
May God hold you all in the palm of His hand during this time.
