To the girls of Pearl and Ed; Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time. This good friend of many years will surely be missed by all who knew her. She sure was a special person in my life, as well as was Ed. They are both together now and watching over their girls that were so special to them.
Love and a hug to all of you,
Millie Strauss
