Sending Love & Prayers to Wilma, Carlene, Randy & Brian. Edith was a wonderful woman I remember living in the apartment upstairs. She always had yummy treats for Deb & I. Her & my Mom would sit @ kitchen table talking & cooking while Dad & Dee sat on porch listening to bluegrass music. Such wonderful memories
