Not sure what to say?

It´s 6 years since Edith left...I think of her every day, quote her often...especially "no good deed goes unpunished" and miss her terribly. I have her brisket recipe...wish I had her cookie recipe for the cookies she hid in her buffet...loved it when I visit her I place a tiny stone somewhere...always wonder if they find them

Sending my condolences to the family. May God give you peace and strength during this difficult time. (Ps. 29:11)

You might not regret it now but you will when you get to be my age." She also told me "You not only have a Jewish mother at home, your have a Jewish mother at work too." I was exhausted from working so hard and quite overwhelmed by all the wisdom.

Dear family, I wish I had told Edith how much I appreciated her, how much...

Dear Stephen and Michael,

I am sorry to hear about the passing of your mom. I am the daughter of her 1st cousin Douglas Miller. I met your mom numerous times over the years and always loved to hear her very descriptive and humorous stories about life and the family.
May she be reunited with Mel the love of her life.

Fondly,
Cynthia Miller Grinbaum
