I was so sorry to hear of Eden's passing. She was so sweet and almost always had a smile on her face. I know it has been a long time since I last saw her, but she will be be missed!

I will always remember the first time I met Eden. I was working at the Gap in the Mashpee Commons. Eden came in with her loving mother Linda. Eden had stumbled upon a Christmas gift a little early and decided to try it on. The 3/4 length sleeves were not to her liking so they had to exchange the beautiful gold jacket for a larger size with longer sleeves. Eden was a complete joy to help in the store that day. By the time the exchange was completed Eden was telling me "i love you Brittany" all the way out of the store. I couldn't help but reply with "i love you too Eden" may her family be comforted by all the wonderful memories they have of her amazing life! God bless her beautiful soul.

Dear Linda, am so sorry to hear of Eden's death. I have so many memories of her from Bourne St. She was always happy and lifted my spirits when ever she stopped by to chat.
You are all in my thoughts and prayers

Dear Linda, So sorry to hear of the passing of Eden. I'll always remember how sweet she was and never forgot anything. Every time I did her hair we would talk the whole time and always made me smile. I'm sure she will be truly missed. Prayers to you and the family. God bless.
