I am so very sorry for your loss. My condolences to the entire family.

When I learned of Edith's death, I did not want to believe it. I wept for the loss of such a special lady. Edith was such a kind generous soul, with a great sense of humor she made me laugh.

So many happy memories created by Aunt Edith's warm, open and vibrant personality. Deepest prayers for our cousins as they celebrate this amazing woman and life.

Diane, Greg, and family, so sorry to read about your loss. Earth's loss is Heaven's gain. Love to all.

Words cannot even begin to express our sorrow.
