Edith Schumer

I am grateful that I was able to know her for so many years. Every single encounter was so special. Her friendly nature, her joy of life, her great compassion for others and her humour were infectious. She will always remain in my memory and in my heart. My heartfelt condolences Go to the family. Rest in peace Dear Edith.

Dear Schumer Family, We are saddened by the death of Ms. Edith Schumer. With her visits to Stockstadt am Rhein, Ms. Schumer allowed us to share in her life and her fate. She extended her hand of friendship to us. We thank you for that. "As long as we live, they will live too, because they are now a part of us when we remember them." Thomas Raschel Mayor of the Municipality of Stockstadt am Rhein Germany

Although we have moved from Chicago over twenty years ago, Edie will always have a special place in our hearts. She was so caring and loving to our beloved Snowball, who spent his final days in her loving care. Edie was a true mentch. She was so compassionate and loved life. We were truly blessed to have known her. Our sincerest condolences to her entire family. Judy and Sam Sugar

Dear Fern and Family. We loved Edie so! Both she and Larry were always so wonderful to our family, in particular, Griffey. When we brought him to the house he would RUN to enter. Edie was such a love and became a dear friend. I just receive the warmest thank you note for the Chanukah goodies that I dropped off. She was always so appreciative. May your fondest memories provide much comfort as you remember this remarkable lady. She will be truly missed. Love, Andrea, Stuart and our entire family.

Edith and her family were my first contact with a German Shepherd "Queenie", a true gardener and the first and perhaps only two career household of my childhood. While we had no awareness of the trauma and pain of her life- she remained a loving presence that in later years she faced with grace sharing her story. In loving memory Helene Sloan Kohn
