Dear Darryl--

Likely you don't remember me, as I am a few years older, but we used to play together as young children. Your father and mine were both stationed in Great Falls, flying B-24s out of the Aleutians. Edie, my mother (Leonora) and my Aunt Jane made a legendary cross-country road trip from New York to Montana in '43 or '44. My aunt died this week--on her 94th birthday--and in searching for the road trip pictures, which looms large in my cousin's family lore, discovered...

Edie will be truly missed. The world has lost a beautiful soul. She was such a wonderful person that I can only describe as pure sunshine. At a family gathering a few years ago, I spent most of the day looking at her incredible artwork and lost in her journals from her travels with Pop. Condolences to her family and friends. I hope she and Pop are together again, traveling all over the unknown.

May Ms. Edie's family and friends find comfort in good memories. I truly will miss our chats and her lovely smile. I am grateful to be given the opportunity to provide her with care. She definitely was at peace as I stood by her side.

I will miss Edie, her bight smile, her joy in making art, and her zest for life. I like many am lucky to have known her. Much love and sympathy to her family and dear friends who will miss her fresh enthusiasm.

Dear Darryl
I am sorry to hear of the passing of your Mom. She was a fantastic lady. May she rest in peace. Your Dad Pete and my Dad worked together at the Transit Company.
